36 week visit

Well I learned some exciting news at the Dr. today. I am 50% effaced which means I'm getting closer to having this baby. That sort of freaks me out a little for several reasons but it makes me very excited too. Hopefully, as her father says, we still have a couple of weeks to go. Plus with my doula being out of town I really don't want to do this birth without her!!!
Other news I learned is that my group B strep culture was negative. That simply means that I won't need antibiotics during labor. One less thing to do done to me! :)
I do have a prayer request...Early on in my pregnancy I took care of a pt who turned up positive for TB. Today I had to get my skin test done. Pray that it will come back negative so I don't have to worry about x-rays and TB meds that make you feel horrible. Not something I want to have to deal with with a new baby.
It's been an interesting week at work. Our floor moved to another area of the hospital. The actual move went pretty smooth but the week as been a little harry as we have been full to the capacity of our new unit all the while trying to learn where everything is stored. Not a real fun process. Plus just for grins I also changed shifts during this mess so it's been a little stressful. I've just tried to keep the focus on my patients that I was caring for that night and not worry about the rest of it. We'll eventually find everything we need but we're not there yet.
