07:38 am: 36 weeks, 2 days
I had a few very uncomfortable contractions last night. A couple of times when I got up to go potty, I felt like Darwin was ready to fall out. I thought that today would be the day, but now I'm guessing it probably won't happen today. Just every day feels similar to the day before so it's impossible to know when it will happen. I will probably not go until I get induced on Sunday. I'm fine with that, but I would really like to go into labor naturally.

At my appointment yesterday, the NST showed that Darwin is still doing great. He's a rock star baby. I got bad news that my Group B Strep screening was positive, so that's another thing to worry about. They will have to put me on IV antibiotics while I am in labor to keep Darwin from contracting the GBS. If he gets it, it is seriously bad news, so I'm really hoping I will get to the hospital in plenty of time for them to administer the antibiotics.

Dr. Meltzer did not check me, so I don't know if I progressed at all since last week. He did say that it would be great if I went into labor naturally in front of Richard so maybe Richard won't be so up tight about me not bed resting like I'm supposed to.

I am going to have another NST and visit on Thursday to check up on Darwin and also to check to see if Darwin and I are ready for the birth on Sunday. I can't believe I will be holding my baby in less than a week. I'm so nervous that he will have health issues because of my stupid, fucked up body. All I want is for him to be healthy.
