Pregnancy update

Well, I went to the doctor today for my routine visit. I am 34 weeks and 4 days. After 45 minute wait in the waiting room, and feeling like my skin was on fire from all this hot weather, I was finally called back. I gained 2 pounds over the past 3 weeks, so I am up to a total of 26. Still about 8 pounds difference from the first 2 pregnancies. The doctor said the test results they sent out last week actually did not show a UTI after all. Therefore, I either had another kindey stone or that the baby's head was putting a lot of pressure there. I gave him a recap of exactly how I have been feeling, and he basically said that the only way I would feel better, was to deliver. In the meantime, he wanted me off my feet as much as possible. Ha! I run a daycare here from 7:30-5:00, how am I suppose to be off my feet??? He said he was not putting me on bedrest, but that I needed to have help here, and rest as much as possible. That is so hard, especially when I actually have a ton of energy right now and don't feel sick. I feel helpless sitting around, and I hate it. He did not do an exam, but said he would next appointment. He estimated that the baby was around 6 pounds, which makes me a little nervous since I still have a few more weeks to go. He also said he could tell she was head down and in position. We talked a little bit more about induction and he said he would induce me at least a week early. All in all, everything went well, So, again we wait for another week.
