so despite all my compliments at prenatal appointment numero uno, i seem to have an 'asymptomatic UTI.' wtf? so lame.
i told sarah i wanted to do another clean catch, because it's possible i contaminated my own sample somehow, but of course i now do not have to work tomorrow (thus cannot drive to gainesville just to pee in a cup) and she said we can't wait due to the amount of colonization apparent on the test and the fact that i've had it for at least a week already. argh! so i'm stuck taking antibiotics now and i am not happy about it. the only reason i am doing it is because years ago when i had a kidney infection it was a result of an asymptomatic UTI... and kidney infections+pregnancy=very bad news.
what concerns me is this research. i know that macrobid is not ok for late-term, and apparently now early pregnancy, but what about in the middle where i am? it's a little stressful.
anyway, that's that. 3 days of yucky pills and a lot of hoping they don't hurt anybody.
in other news, we're almost ready for rowan's 1st birthday! she is an ANGEL at bedtime now, it's ridiculous. letting her cry a bit for just three days made her actually seem to enjoy going to bed! she says 'bye bye' to all her toys before bed and hugs me while i sing to her--things she never, ever did before. and when i put her in the crib she is happy to pet her stuffed animals and calmly watches me walk away. i never would have guessed she would be happier for having been made to cry. i think it must be the comfort of knowing what is going to happen? whatever it is, i am sooooooOOOOoooo grateful that she has sorted out the whole bedtime thing and seems totally at peace with it.
also i finally decorated her room now that we are in the new place (though i ran out of paint with 1/3 of a wall to go), and it's even cuter than her old room! more butterflies, a new arrangement, and the tree has a lot more leaves and flowers... now i just have to sort of hope that the peanut is not a boy, or we're going to have to include some serious bug decor, or maybe some male elves or goblins or something. the extra fairies and butterflies really turned it into a girl thing :)
