Today was our first visit at the midwives’ new office across from the hospital. They just moved in over the weekend, and while it looks great and seems nicely organized, they’re still getting used to where things are and all that.
Our appointment was for 11:15. That’s when I arrived. Mark had been there since 10:55 because of the bus schedule. And then we waited through the end of one person’s appointment and than another person’s whole appointment before it was our turn. I’m not sure how that happened, but it meant Mark left campus at 10 and didn’t get back until after noon.
Fortunately, we were able to reschedule our next two appointments on the hour, which should make Mark’s waiting time less.
I’ve gained maybe one or two pounds — they have a new scale and it seems everyone is “heavier” on it, so it’s unlikely I really gained the three pounds it measured. My blood pressure and the baby’s heartbeat and everything else are fine.
I’m positive for the Group B Strep — like 1 in 5 other women — so I’ll have to have an IV thing in my hand during labor and get antibiotics periodically throughout the process. They don’t have to have a tube connected to it at all times, so it shouldn’t limit my ability to move around and such.
