Appointment #14 - Lead Us Not into Temptation
As hard as it was, I refused an internal exam. No one likes stirrups, it would have been uncomfortable and the bottom line is that it wouldn't have told me a damn thing. I'll get one next week though and if I make it to 41 weeks, I'll be begging for my membranes to be stripped.
I walked back to the exam room with the regular nurse and like my co-workers, she was apparently sorry to see me still around. Plus she gave some crazy story about her mother running over her foot with her wheelchair which I thought was slightly amusing but apparently it's not and requires a lot of pain meds.
Blood pressure is normal. The Doctor says that the swelling isn't "too bad" even if I can only wear flip-flops and one other pair of shoes. I didn't gain any weight which is normal. The Doctor is not anticipating a large baby unless I am hiding it (where would I be hiding a baby?). I don't know if the puppy has dropped or not, my guess is no since I haven't noticed any difference.
One look at the state of our finances this morning and I decided that there's no hurry for me to stop working. Fortunately my job comes with an office and that office comes with a door.
Other than that ... I'm stressing out about the in-laws coming and other visitors after the birth. I might surprise myself and be feeling very hospitable - who knows.
