36 week appt and hospital pics

So I had my now weekly appt (36 weeks 5 days) with Dr. K today and got some good news! I was told that Skittle has officially "dropped!" YAY!! I thought maybe she had but having the doc tell me that her head is now below my pubic bone was very exciting! He, of course, is leaving for a two week vacation and actually said that he very much wants to deliver my baby but that it may not be possible. He will be back before my due date though. I'm measuring the same as last week (35 weeks) but Dr. K said that was fine considering her dropping. I also lost a pound and my bp is great. I was also told that I'm GBS negative! Hooray for no antibiotics in the hospital on delivery day! Oh man I hope she's here soon! I'm so ready to meet her and squish her little cheeks!

Here are some of Dh's snap happy moments in the hospital...for your entertainment:

This is a pic showing how many things I was hooked up to. For normal people, the center monitor is the only one used. Getting up to go to the bathroom was a 5 min process of untangling all the wires and praying I didn't step on anything that would cause my IV to be ripped out of my arm.



Four IV sites in 10 days. What fun.





I think this was in Labor & Delivery before being officially admitted the first time around. I think I barely look pregnant! I was loving the Demerol at that point. Can you tell?



A shot of the finger flashlight for those middle of the night bathroom trips...(actually it measured my pulse oxygen level and the dang thing would BEEP incessantly if it went too high or too low. I had to have it because of the narcotics but the extra oxygen was a nice bonus by the way. I highly recommend it!) Notice my belly now!
