I had my 36-week appointment this morning. My ankle swelling is better and it even shows in my weight…I lost three pounds since last week! I must have miscalculated my weight, though…my total gain to date is 21 pounds, so perfect. 
I think I got “pregnancy brain” this morning when she took me into the bathroom. I sat down and peed and then realized I forgot to pee in the cup! I squeezed out about four drops into the cup and was so embarrassed, but the nurses were so nice and said that’s all I need anyways. Good thing vacation and relaxation are coming!
So, everything’s good…my weight, my blood pressure, the swelling is improving, my belly’s growing, and baby’s still in the right position. Dr. Kerpelman said that I’m one day shy of having the Group Beta Strep test, so I’ll have that at my appointment on Friday. Now I have to go every week for the next month (or until the baby comes, whichever comes first!)..
Tomorrow is our 5th wedding anniversary…I can’t believe it! Chuck’s got to work, but I’ll have a relaxing day of getting my nails done and swimming at Tina’s. We’ve got reservations for dinner at Black & Blue at 6:45pm, so I’m looking forward to that!
I’m off to work one last shift for at least a week and a half today, so I’m very excited for that. I’m counting the hours, maybe even the minutes!
