Yesterday was my 37 wk appt. I clarified some things about being GBS +. If my water breaks in early labor, I will need to go in early again to start antibiotics. If they don't get all the antibiotics in, it isn't a big deal. They will just keep baby an extra day for observation. I asked about checking my iron level now as opposed to in the hospital but she said since I'll be getting an IV anyway, they might as well do it then instead of a poke now and a poke later.

Today is Friday the 13th. I had kind of hoped for a 13th delivery date to match the pattern we have going, but I don't think it will happen. I really haven't had much by way of contractions since ... Monday or so? I think if I'd pushed it with activity maybe something would have come of it. At this point I am thinking we'll have a July baby. We'll see though. In theory I could make it to July 13th. The irony of that is he'd be two wks late and 9 days before Aaron's birthday. Aaron was two(ish) weeks early and is 9 days from Jared.

Monday I ended up not going back to bed until midnight. I thought I would crash and burn but it never happened. I managed to finish the blanket I was working on and then started making fabric blocks. Tuesday I was a little bit tired but felt ready. I did a few more projects for Melissa, but by Wed night I was done. Done. Done. Done. I felt exhausted and little motivation to do anything else. I probably ought to go ahead and pack my fabric away because it does not call to me anymore. If we had a couch I would lay on it and watch tv.

The boys - especially Jared - are happy that I am done with 'projects' because that frees me up for spending time with them. I have been so tired the last few days though that it is a different kind of challenge. We did run errands yesterday though since I had a dr's appt and threw some fun stops in there as well.

Matthew is off today so he took Jared to go climb a mountain as well as run some other errands.

Aaron hasn't been feeling well for a week now, so I managed to get him in to the dr this morning. Turns out he has pneumonia. My guess is that it is left over from when he was sick two weeks ago. We're on a round of antibiotics and hopefully that will take care of it. Though I was surprised at the diagnosis, I am relieved it isn't something contagious. Both he and Matthew were sick at the same time and then got sick again. Matthew's appt isn't until next Wed but he thinks he is at the tail end of it. I just want our house to be a healthy place before baby comes.
