36 week appointment

I called the doctor's office before leaving for my appointment, just to be sure they were open, and they were. Since the federal government was closed, Tony had another day off work, so he was able to come along. The drive there was uneventful. All the traffic lights were working and the roads were clear which was a nice surprise.

I got the express check up today--no urinanalysis because the bathroom was out of order because the county has no water, and no internal exam because the nurse forgot to ask me to undress and give me a gown. All that was left was to weigh in, check my blood pressure, and listen to Bean's heartbeat. My weight has stabilized, pressure was good, and the steady beat of Bean's little heart is always a pleasure to hear.
