well the dr update
I went in today. With of course my driver coming to pick me up... Dh of course ;)
No weight gain BUT my fingers hands and wrists are swollen :(
My test for Group B strep came back positive this time. It is upsetting BUT not the end of the world. The baby should be just fine. I will have 2 courses or antibiotics while being induced/in labor. If I can get those courses in I will be great and Baby G will for sure be protected. I cannot remember being tested last time and Little G ended up with pnemonia after birth.... which can be caused by the Group B strep. Makes me wonder (and want to look through those records just to find out). It can lead to miscarriages too... again makes me wonder MORE. Some info on the Strep B can be read about here

The 21st is a definite go for induction. They now have my "reservation" at the hospital and the doctor is good to go that day. So 0600-0630 that morning I will be induction bound.
OK I am off to bed. Got some sleep to catch up on somehow... Maybe because of that article I read that links lack of sleep in late pregnancy with LONG labors hahah trying to avoid that ;)
Oh had to add 12 days to go!!
