36 week update...

Eli is such a smart little boy- he is nice and head down, just like his Mommy told him he should be. Good job stinker! My appt was fine, although frustrating. Twice now, the girl checking me out at the previous appt has messed up. When I arrived today, the midwife I was supposed to see wasn't there. As a matter of fact, NO midwives were there. Between the hospital, 4 office locations, and days off, there isn't a midwife at each location each day. Because it was already 3pm, and I work the rest of the week, I couldn't just reschedule. They gave me my choices of OBs, and I picked one I knew from work- she used to be a resident there. She's nice and very competent, but not my midwives. As a matter of fact, the office assistant even checked fetal heart tones. Weird!!! My midwives do everything themselves. And they always feel on my belly with such a loving touch, and talk to Eli. This OB measured me, and that was it. Maybe just b/c she didn't really know me?

The results of my GBS test should be back in 3 days, so I'll call on Friday. Next week, I have an appt with the midwife Sage on Monday (supposedly). Because I missed 4 months of this pregnancy while in Florence, Tina and Sage will be the only two of the midwives I will see. Luckily I've met Jan and Nancy, and like them both. There is a new one named Jessica whom I haven't met, and probably won't before the big D- Day. So, hopefully I'll get one I know! It's really hard to believe that Eli could come anytime. If he follows in his big brother's footsteps, it could be as early as two weeks from now. That's crazy! I can't believe I'll soon be a Mom to two!
