38 Week Check Up and a Rant...

My mother-in-law and I drove up to Durango today for a baby appointment. The little guys head has come down a bit farther and I am now at 2cm, still 60% effaced, but Mary Louise said that my body is definitely getting ready. She estimates that we will, indeed, have a December baby, and that he will come very close to his due date. I am, actually, content to wait and and excited to see how my labor will start and what it will be like to bring this person into the world. I feel so blessed...
Now to the rant. Jeremiah's company is having each employee and their spouse do a biometric screening by December 31. A doc has to check my height, weight, waist circumference (!!!), blood pressure, and I have to have a glucose screening done and my lipid levels checked. Ummm...I have explained to the insurance and the company that I am NINE months pregnant and that these test won't be valid until I am at least 6wks postpartum, but they could care less. So, I'm going to have stats like an old man. Hopefully they won't give me the boot. Mary Louise (midwife) is pretty miffed at the whole thing and made it clear that she does not think it is a good idea. What's a girl to do??
