Another day...another doctor's appointment

As we approach the due date of Baby Prout's arrival, doctor appointments become more and more the standard. At my most recent appointment (Monday, August 11th) I went through the standard procedures (blood pressure, weight, heart beat, and measurement), but had the added pleasure of blood work and strep test. Believe it or not, the blood work has become easy for me- which is lucky since the lady taking blood was not a gentle pricker. The strep test was tolerable, but it is never my choice to be swabbed anywhere below my bell button. Let's hope the test results are like everything else- nothing and no big deal. Next appointment is next Monday. Luckily, just the standard. No swabbing or pricking.
