6 weeks to go..WHAT?!

We had our 34 week check up this morning.  Dr was a little late so Corey wasn't able to stay and wait due to a deployment briefing, but might be able to make my next one on 10/17.  We discussed me taking iron and she looked at my numbers and told me it wasn't necessary.  So no more iron, I just have to make sure I eat iron rich foods.  I'll probably be able to take zantac as needed instead of twice a day since I think the iron was making my heartburn worse.  She forgot to check the baby and I though it was weird but started to leave anyway, as I was leaving she texted me to come back.  We had to laugh because it happens to all of us , forget what we are actually doing.  I'm measuring right on track, baby is still head down (which is great) and weighing at about 4.5 lbs (although I have no idea how she can tell).  My next appointment is 10/17 where they will swab and make sure I don't have any STD's or strep b to pass along to baby.  I'm assuming this visit will be my first internal (although she didn't mention that) to make sure everything is still looking good.  After that visit I'll have one more 2 week visit (technically the last two are 3 weeks apart but now I'll be caught up) Then after the one the last week of Oct I'll be going once a week until baby arrives (which will hopefully only be 2 weeks).  Corey swears baby will come early (about a week) I'd rather her just cook until her due date, but we'll see soon enough who is right.  I just hope no more then 6 weeks!!
