36-week Appointment...
Didn't gain any weight - Yay!
Had a Strep-B culture - Boo!
No high blood pressure - Yay!
No dilation - Boo!
BUT... "low and very soft!" - Yay!
Baby head down still - Yay!
My B.O.B. (Big Ol' Belly) measured 35-1/2 weeks, so a week behind. No clue what that means, if anything at all.
And, I saved the most exciting part for last... she would be HAPPY to induce me if I want to do that. So, that's something to think about. I won't share the potential induction dates (that is, if I even choose to go that route or don't go into labor before then) though because that really wouldn't be fair to the baby pools out there. :) Tom is very much against it for some reason. But frankly, I am not really even considering his opinion in the matter since he is not the one throwing up every day or waking up to all-night heartburn. :P (Nor is he the one who has to make all the plans for the Original Baby Human.)

I didn't consider NOT inducing mainly for the reasons of the other kiddo. I didn't want to be paranoid and freaking or in pain around him, worrying about what to do with him, etc. It was nice to know we had a date a time. Of course, she came the night before, but Beaux was already safely with his grandparents.
I know, Mrs. B... that's my biggest consideration and the reason I'll probably go through with scheduling it. Otherwise I'd be all for waiting on mother nature... it'd be kind of fun to wait for my water to break at some insane hour of the morning. ;)
No fair! If you schedule it, send some labor dust my way so we might cross paths at the hospital. But only if I can beat you into the corner room. :-)
Let me assure you though, that my water did break at some insane hour and it made for havoc and a doctor that was not present at the hospital. I was literally mapping the route from her house to the hospital in my mind and praying she wouldnt catch the train.
