38 weeks, 4 days Pregnant...

and no internal exam at my appointment today. I haven't had an internal since they did my GBS at 36 weeks. And at that point, my cervix was still completley closed (obviously). I'm a little miffed. Well, more than a little really. First, my appointment was at 9:15. Being the good patient I am, I was there at 9:00. I wasn't called back until about 9:20 and then I sat in the room, waiting for the doctor until around 9:50ish. He came in, we "talked" for a little bit and then he was gone--in about 2 minutes. He told me that she's still head down (I could have told him that based on her movements) and that my weight and BP look good (that too, I could have told him). I am still very irritated about this. Don't you think that at 38 and a half weeks pregnant they should check? I mean really... labor could start ANY day now... and being GBS positive, I'd like to know if there's even the slightest change in my cervix so that I can be better prepared. This whole positive GBS scares the crap out of me... yeah the penicillin will help but only if I get it in time. ::sigh:: I feel like crying.

So another little lovely speed bump... our crib was recalled. Yeah, our crib. Where our baby is supposed to sleep, safely and soundly. So now we have to get a voucher from the manufacturer in order to get a new crib. It took us forever to decide on a (first) crib--I'm talking weeks and weeks of looking around, reading reviews (ha! look how much those good reviews helped out now) and all that good stuff. And once we get the voucher, we're stuck buying a new crib from Babies R freakin' Us... and they only have one other black crib. It's nice and all, we had actually considered buying it before we picked the recalled one, but it's bigger and the finish is a little different. I hope it matches the dresser... First the travel system now the crib. Luckily, we have a bassinet (which hasn't been recalled yet) for her first month or two. I'm getting tired of all this--it's ridiculous. Why don't they test this stuff before they sell it--it's for BABIES for crying out loud!!!!!

So part of me is ready for her. But with everything going the way they are, I'll probably end up being overdue. And with everything going to hell, I'd prefer she stay in there for another week or so--gives us more time to figure out everything for her. We can't seem to win right now. I guess it can only get better from here though. We shall see.
