37 wk midwife appointment:

Baby is still ~7 lbs.
My total weight gain: ~17.5 lbs
The baby is ROA (was LOA last week), head down.
I don't have beta strep (woooot!)
I need to get some sort of belly band because he's so big and tightly packed that more support will be nice. (Oh how the $$ pours out of me these days.)
I don't have any problems or symptoms, nothing's changed, blood pressure's low, blah blah, I feel great but I am freakin' huge.
She wants me to get on maternity leave ASAP to sleep/relax.

That's it. The whole visit was 20 minutes including a lengthy-ish talk about my Dad/emotional family stuff. I am the next person she has due, which blows my mind. I'm next in line. I realize others may jump before me, but still, that's quite a thing.

Tonight: birthing class and the last book in the Twilight Saga. I'm forcing myself to read slowly because I will be lonely when the story is over.
