We went to the Dr. yesterday and Eric moved around so much the doctor had trouble getting his heartbeat! The doctor also said Eric is about 6 pounds and of course the pregnancy website says he is about as heavy as a honeydew melon and is over 18 inches long! His kidneys are fully developed now and most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.
From here on out, we'll be visiting the Dr every week. I have a bacteria called Group B streptococci (GBS) its not a big deal for adult females (about 30 percent of pregnant women have the naturally occuring bacteria) it just means I will need IV antibiotics during delivery so Eric doesn't get it because it can cause serious complications for newborns, such as pneumonia, meningitis, or a blood infection.
