37 weeks

Yup- 37 weeks! Meaning I'm considered full-term and could deliver safely:) Now comes the waiting game. Dr. Appt Thursday went well- heartbeat was still in 160's, blood pressure is still low but stable, and he's still head down! I measured 36 centimeters which was right on target! However, I did test positive for Strep B, which is a bacterial infection found in 25% of women- I am considered a carrier and could possibly pass it down to my child during labor and delivery. All it means is that I would have to take antibiotics during labor and it greatly reduces the chances of Logan getting sick from strep b. I'm not too concerned about it because as soon as I found out I had it, a few people came up and said they had it and it's not really that big of a deal as long as you treat it during labor:) I will have to stay in the hospital for two days(that's the incubation time for logan to get sick from it) and if everything checks out, we can go home! We start going weekly to the doctor until I deliver and Friday she is doing a sonogram:) so we get pictures of him one last time in the womb before we see him in person! I can't wait:)
 The nursery is almost finished! I have the crib and bassinet set up and ready! Mom and Dad put the bassinet together- that was funny cause it's been 16 years since they put one together and now they were fussing because something didn't go somewhere right- funniest was Dad and Jerry putting the crib together. Mom and I stayed in the dining room cuz there wasn't alot of room to stand around in there, but it was too silent in there so we went to snoop thinking dad had killed jerry or something.lol... well, they were both fine and dad was making Jerry do most of the work because we have the crib that goes from crib to toddler to full and he needed to know how to redo it, not dad:) then mom and I put the sheets and stuff on the crib while Jerry's telling me things- mom finally explained to him the fathers role is to SHUT UP! The nursery is more for mom anyway:) 3 more weeks and then we are there!!!!
