35 weeks and counting

At yesterday's appointment, the doc did indeed confirm that Ben is still breech. In fact, his tiny little foot is squishing my bladder as I write.

I am now having weekly appointments. Next week, we will have an US to look at his size, position and level of amniotic fluid. He told us to bring a DVD, and I am so looking forward to getting another peek at our son.

I am positive for Group B strep. This means I will have antibiotics before/during my delivery. I think I am supposed to any way since I have mitral valve prolapse. Load me up, I say. I do not want any germs anywhere.

I also got a letter from insurance in the mail saying that I have been approved for delivery. At a hospital that is not the one I have requested. Grrrr.....

A picture in a signature on a message board I belong to has prompted me to begin looking into baby photo sessions. I am almost certain that I will be suckered into spending an armload of cash on these things, but I think it will be well worth it to capture the early days of what could very possibly be our only child. This one is booked through 2008, but I can get on a cancellation list. This one is pretty popular, and has a package of Baby's First Year that isn't so awful if one breaks down the costs of multiple sessions. You can also see a couple of family photos of the Houston Ast.ros mixed in. If she's good enough for pro baseball players, she's good enough for us. I simply can't help it if I have visions of perfect little birth announcements, like this one:
