All is well here. Besides some tossing and turning at night, I have no real complaints with 36 weeks. I'm entering the stage where everyone is commenting on the pregnancy and it is really fun. Strangers walk past me and say "Wow, looks like a baby is coming soon", the check-out lady at Publix asks me how I'm feeling and comments that "it looks like you'll be real busy soon!" I got out of the car at the preschool pick-up line on Monday and rushed around the car to let Piper out and one of the teachers said "careful! we don't want you having that baby right here!"
I really love this stage of pregnancy when everyone seems genuinely excited by the fact that I'm a ticking time bomb. Piper is always loving on my stomach and just this morning she stood in front of me while we were in the check-out line and closed her eyes and rubbed her face against my stomach for 4 minutes straight. It was so sweet because all I want to do is just love on Piper right now. I'm feeling very Earth Mama and I just want to hold and cuddle any little child against me.

At my appt this week the midwife told me I am GBS+. Even though I'm well aware of how common it is, I got all upset and started crying. Once I'm out of the first trimester I've been a model pregnant patient and having one little out-of-the-ordinary thing pop up made me sorta freak out. I felt better after Christa reminded me she was GBS+, along with two friends and Lisa. It is no big whoop and I should feel so thankful that the worst hiccup I've had with this pregnancy is that I'll have to have a dose of IV antibiotics right before I have the baby.
My weight is up to an even 30 pounds, which means I'm officially 1 pound over what I gained with Piper. I still feel like I look good, but I am definitely starting to have the soft, pudgy, round 9 month pregnant woman look.

It was good for me to have the iv bag hooked up to me in the birthing center b.c they were able to give me iv fluids when i needed them. the only time i remember thinking about the iv is when i had to put on my robe to go to the hospital. no big whoop
