34 week appointment

My doctor's appointment went well. The nurse practitioner came in just to check the heartbeat. She left, and then Dr came in. He said my 24 hr urine test came back fine, nothing to worry about it. Everything else looks good, still down 1 lb, but he's not worried. He doesn't think I'll have preterm labor for any reason. My next appointment is in 2 weeks and he'll go over labor questions then. I'm going to get a list ready, like can I eat/drink, how do they feel about leaving the cord attached till it stops pulsing, things like that.

He said my wrist will take longer to heal because of muscles etc stretching naturally now. He said to try the brace off today and see how it does. So far so good, still hurts, and a bit swollen, but I'm trying it. Did I mention that here? I don't think I did... I strained/sprained/pulled the muscles/tendons/ligaments on my right hand from my thumb to my wrist fighting with the barn door about 3 weeks ago. I went to urgent care 2 1/2 weeks ago and they gave me a bulky brace. It's somewhat better, but not much.

And now I think I'm getting Jon's cold. He was sick last week. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and coughing. What fun. Dr checked my throat and didn't see any signs of strep.
