37 weeks

At 37 weeks...

- I found out I tested positive for group-b strep. I was pretty worried at first but it turns out it's pretty common and I'll just have to have an iv of antibiotics during labor/delivery. I hope I'm not allergic to penicillin! Other than that news, my weekly checkup was a breeze, per usual.

- Rob still loves to talk to, rub, and tap on my belly. And baby responds like no other! It's unbelievable how strong their bond is already.

- I'm H.O.T. Summertime in Kansas officially kicked in this week with temps in the mid-90's and whoa, buddy I could tell. There were numerous occasions where I used my beloved ice pack to cool down but it got warm in a mere few minutes. We've also been hitting the pool and going to movies, but  the daily dose of ice cream is where it's at. :) I can't help but picture the scene from Father of the Bride II where the two pregnant girls are sprawled out on the couch, fans blasting, and Steve Martin comes in all bundled up saying something about how their home is the only igloo in the city. I would kill to sprawl out in an igloo right now. 

- Baby Simms is still moving all around! He really reacts to sound (especially at the theatre), touch (when Rob coaxes him into my ribcage), and what position I'm in.

- we're registered at the hospital and almost getting closer to being ready to go. I've packed and repacked all our baby stuff and finally convinced Rob to start thinking about what he's going to bring. I'm finishing up some of my baby reading material and I've officially checked insurance off my to-do list. FINALLY.

- Baby is in the head-down position, confirmed by my OB and chiropractor. Phew!

- I'm still feeling really good. I've really enjoyed being pregnant and I'm thankful it's been a fairly easy ride for me. I guess my biggest complaint (other than the heat) is my SI aka lowest part of my spine hurts. But, my insurance covers 40 chiro visits per year so I've used them to the max. I think if I were working all the way up to delivery I would be much more grouchy. I would be way more tired and the little things like some heartburn now and then would be bother me more.
