So I'm full-term as of Wednesday!

I can't believe it! On Wednesday the 27th, I officially turned 37 weeks, and therefore am full-term. We had our midwife appointment, which went well, although I tested positive as a carrier for Group B strep, which means that can pass from the mother to baby during the birth, so I'll have to have IVs with antibiotics during labor to reduce the risk of transmission to the baby. It's not a big deal, I suppose, but I was thinking I wouldn't have it, since our midwives told us that 70% of women test negative for Group B Strep. I wasn't really thinking that I'd be in that 30% that tested positive! Oh well, at least we know, so we can take steps to reduce the risk of transmission to the baby (they say that antibiotics during labor are 96% effective with regards to preventing transmission to the baby).

After our appointment, I went out with some friends to try this new place called Bonfyre; it was a really cool atmosphere, and the food was pretty good (although the butternut squash soup I had was spicy, which seemed weird!) It was funny because they were all saying, "Oh, I bet we won't be able to get together again before the baby is born; you could go at any time!" I'm thinking, "Yes, anything is technically possible, but I have a feeling this baby is going to be in here for a looooong time!"

This weekend we have Rori's two parties; her family one and her friend one. I cannot believe she is almost 7; I remember the day she was born so clearly, and can't believe how much time has flown by! She is so excited for the baby and will be such a cute helper; I can't wait to see the two of them together.
