Days 11 and 12 and baby update.

I had a prenatal appt. yesterday. GBS test was negative, which means no IV needed for delivery, yay! Weight is hovering at about 20 pounds gained, although on our home scale, I lost some weight? Lucy's heartrate was a little slower than usual, but the midwife wasn't worried at all and said she was probably just resting. She still moves around a ton and seems to react most to have her back scratched. We discussed an induction date, something I never thought I would do. They won't do it until I am at least 41 weeks, so it's been set for 11/3 at 8am, just in case. She doesn't think I will need it, but wanted to get on the schedule since fall is a popular time for babies. At least there is an end in sight. She also wants me to be checked on Monday at my next appt. and do a "stretch and sweep", if possible. I'm feeling next week. Still holding onto the 20th as my predicted date. Susan still says the 25th. We'll see!

Here's a quick Theo funny: He's talking so much now and repeating everything. Susan sometimes calls him a "turkey burger with cheese" and he smiles really big and yells "BURGER CHEESE!" He is, undoubtedly, the cutest child I have ever known and I couldn't love him more. I'm so lucky to be his mama.

Here are the blog challenge questions for yesterday and today (my birthday, by the way - 33 years old and moldy!):

11. Are you a lover or a fighter?

Definitely both. I hate fighting but I do it when it's warranted. Mostly social justice kind of stuff. I love and fight from the same place and it's fierce.
12. What would you say your biggest fear is when it comes to relationships?

I don't think I have any. These days I guess I worry that I suck at maintaining friendships because my energy is pulled in so many directions, but I'd say a lot of people feel that way.
