Since J was at work and Rhett and Ry were in school, it was just me and Kenna. When we got to the office, we had to wait about 7 min to check in. While we waited, Kenna just stood right next to my leg the whole time. She didn't cry, whine, or try to run around. I was so impressed.
As soon as I got checked in, we sat down just to be called right back. I didn't mind though, after the long wait from last week. She took my weight...I stayed the same. Then came my blood pressure...136/84. Then I had to give a urine sample.
We went back to the room and waited for Dr. Hall to come in. When he came in, he first checked Kodee's heartbeat. Just before he was about to put the monitor on my stomach, Kodee kicked so hard. It scared both of us. He said, "Wow, she is really feisty." I just thought, "Yep, that's my girl!" And her heartbeat of course was steady and strong!
Since I am 36 weeks, it was also time to do a culture test for the B-Strepp. As he took my culture, he checked to see if I was dilated. I am a little bit, but not yet a 1. So everything looks great and progressing nicely. Despite the contractions I've had the past week, it looks like she's nice and comfy waiting inside a little longer.
He checked my urine test and the level of protein has dropped to just a trace, though my blood pressure elevated a bit more again this week. He said he's not at all worried about it. He said I'm healthy and we'll keep an eye on it. I just have to take it easy which is mostly what I do because I am getting to that point where sitting, sleeping, standing, etc is uncomfortable. But of course, the discomfort is all worth it. Guess we'll see how things go next week at my appt. which I know will fastly approach before I know it!
