33 week doctor appt.

Today I had my 33rd week doctor appointment at 10:00am, so I came in to work for an hour then left and now I'm back at work! The appointment went well, my regular doctor was back from her vacation so things were a little slower then last time, my BP was 127/77 (not too bad), no protein or sugar in the urine and babies HB was 130bpm (a little low but maybe it was nap time?) Baby is still head down which is good but doesn't really matter too much at this point cause there is still lots of time for baby to do summer salts!? I asked the doctor about episiotomy's, which we were learning about in baby class, I would really like to avoid this procedure and only have it done if baby is in distress - which is exactly what she told me she does (only if baby is in distress). I booked my next four appointments, so the next one is in two weeks and then I go every week after that!! Next appointment is the GBS test (Group B Strep), which I have heard is common to test positive for and can be very harmful for the baby so if you test positive you will get shots every four hours before baby arrives.

There is racing again tonight and all weekend for that matter! However hubby decided to go on a quad rally out of town tomorrow instead of working at the track! :o I however will still go out and work Sat/ Sun, it's extra money - which is always nice~!! Speaking of money, I got my tax refund in the mail the other day, also for the full amount I figured out!! :) So that makes hubbies return over $1300 and my return was over $1900 - pretty good if I say so myself!! Still haven't got my pink slippy thing so I can get my registration but I can always just go in and pay for a sticker, it's not a huge deal. I also forgot to mention that the other day when I was grocery shopping I picked up some "Grapple's" they look like a apple but smell like grape Kool-Aid and have a slight grape flavor to them. They are pretty good, kinda like the apple pears or Asian pears - really juicy and not too sweet, although I'm not sure if I will buy them again - you only get 4 for $4 ? Kinda expensive and I think I like the apple pears better, but these were nice for a change? I've been working on my lists, one for what to pack in my bag, one for babies bag and one list of things I still need to buy in order to pack our bags! The lists really aren't' as long as I thought they would be which makes me wonder ..... am I forgetting something ? I don't really know what the "must haves" are? You know the things you must have before baby comes home! ? So far I've come up with:

1- car seat

2- diapers/ rubber pants

3- sleepers/ under shirts

4- coming home outfit

5- wipes/ lotions

6- bottles/ formula (just in case)

7- receiving blankets

and that's about all!? I don't want to buy too much until after my baby shower (which I'm still not sure if I will have one?) So if you think I missed something please help!! ;)

Ear muffs! Wait till after the baby shower mate, then you will know where the 'gaps' are in your lists.
