34 weeks

I am now 34 weeks and I have one more visit to the doctor in two weeks and then I will be seeing her weekly! My next appointment sounds fun...vaginal exam to test for a bacteria that can harm baby if not taken care of pre-birth...some women have it and some don't ...it is no big deal if you have it when you are not pregnant apparently but if you do have it while you are, they put you on an antibiotic to reduce the chances of spreading to baby. Fun, fun!
Overall, I think I am just ready to be done. My doctor informed me that as long as you reach 35 weeks and then start labor, they won't do anything to try and stop it...so after next week, I think I will start wishing for him to come EARLY! :-) (as long as he is healthy of course).

My cousin is due any second now...she has had contractions on and off but baby can't make up its mind...crossing my fingers for her that he comes soon!

My other cousin was in a car wreck and scared us all half to death. She was hit head on by an older man who swerved into her lane. She is doing ok, but has suffered two broken bones--one in her pinky finger and one in her big toe and also a dislocated hip, of which they had to knock her out just to put it back into place! OUCH! Needless-to-say she is in quite a bit of pain still and I am thinking about her constantly and hoping she has a speedy recovery. Worst is, she is in Chicago and none of her family can be there with her. She has a family friend that is with her but still...Missing her bunches right now!
