36 weeks, 2 days

Soooo, today was a little hectic. I had my weekly OB appointment today and I told her about my eventful Sunday evening of consistent contractions and when she checked me today I had progressed to 3 cm and 100% thinned out. Last week I was at 1.5 cm and 70% thinned out. I haven't gone into labor yet, but it's close. I was also told today that I tested positive on my Strep B Test, so she sent me over to the hospital to be monitored (didn't have this with Jackson). Being that I tested positive they will need to give me an IV Antibiotic before I reach 5 cm. The earlier the better, but it can only be done while I am actually in labor. So I was told to take it easy and come back if my contractions get closer and more persistent like Sunday nights contractions.

So after today, I am thinking we will be having a baby soon, especially with the contractions I have been having ever since I left the hospital. I know I am having more do to being active and I feel like I need to get stuff done around the house. It doesn't help when I am up every 5 minutes to get something for Jackson.

Here is the newest picture, not much change in my opinion! Actually looks smaller to me. 36 week, 2 day.

35 week, 2 days

Now we are just trying to figure out when my mom is getting here. Sooner then her scheduled Tuesday visit! I have been ordered by my mom and brother Jeff to just lay on the couch and not do anything, but I don't see that happening when I have Jackson and things to finish up! I have no bag packed and there are some odds and ends to be done around the house! So if he comes early then I won't be doing another pregnancy update! There will just be a beautiful baby to post! Until then I will update as planned on June 1st after my next OB appointment!

You better get your bag packed girl! And I was Strep B with both of mine (they didn't even test me with M b/c they said if you were with the first one then you would get the antibiotic with all the rest of them, so I guess you keep it or something). Who knows! Good luck!
