Yesterday was the first day of maternity leave! It’s so nice to not be at work although I’m not relaxing as much as I’d like to yet. So much to do in the house (taxes, cleaning, etc) Went to the doctor yesterday and it wasn’t as good as normal. Baby is great, heartbeat still strong at 140-150 bpm. My blood pressure was 120/90 when they first took it so I had to lay on my left side for about 5 – 10 minutes and it came down to normal (110/70) I did test positive for Strep B so I’ll have to have antibiotics in my IV while laboring. If necessary, they’ll give antibiotics to BT after she’s born. Doc says not to worry about it, it’s very common. I’m up to 27 lbs gained. This last week was all baby/uterus/sac.

Earlier this week BT’s great-grandmother (my Grandma) passed away. It was expected after a long battle with Alzheimers, so we’re glad she’s in a better place although we’ll miss her.
