37 weeks

Tomorrow, I will officially be 37 weeks which means this baby is full term!  To celebrate, we'll be going on a tour of the hospital where she'll be born - which also happens to be the hospital where Justin was born.


I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and cannot be more pleased with everything he had to say.  My body is preparing for labor and I'm Strep B negative.  What a relief!  I'm going for an all natural birth this time, so to be Strep B negative is an incredible blessing.  Being positive would mean I'd need to be on antibiotics for 4 hours before the birth - which, for me, translates into rushing to the hospital at the first sign of active labor because of my history with rapid childbirth.  Being negative means I'll be able to spend the majority of my labor at home which gives me more confidence I'll be able to handle the birth unmedicated.

I'm expecting this baby in the next two weeks or so.  Wish me luck!

You look so good! I am so jealous, I always get way fat face when I am pregnant.
Lucky you on being strep b negative. It sure does make things easier.
Good luck, hope she comes early!
