Appt with Dr. M

I went to see Dr. M on Wednesday morning - just a routine prenatal appointment but this time he was doing the test for Group B Strep. It's just something that if it ends up being a positive result, you just have to have antibiotics (via IV) while you're in labour so that the infection isn't passed on to the baby. About 30% of women get this. Wonder if I'll be one of them.

Lil Bean's heartbeat was 152 and sounded great. Dr. M was so cute - when he told me the heartbeat rate he said 'It's a little girl' :) Although I'm not getting my hopes up one way or another because I've had friends who have had high heartbeat readings through their pregnancies and they ended up having boys. Anyway, the head is still in position and ready to go. He also pointed out where the bum and feet were.

I think August 16th would be a nice day to have Lil' Bean. Right in the middle of the month...and just think August = the 8th month and 2006 = 8 if you had it up. So 8/16/2006 is a nice number. Yes, I know - I'm a geek when it comes to numbers - get over it! ha ha

Dr. M is on vacation next week so I will be seeing another doctor instead. Just a regular appointment and then the internal exams start the following week. Maybe Lil' Bean will be born by then - HOW FUN!

22 days to go...
