Yeah Tori!

Sounds like it was meant to be! Hope it all goes smoothly and you meet you

new little one very soon!

P.S. If your doc hasn't mentioned it already, make sure they're going to

check for Group B Strep around 34-36 weeks. I think they're much better

about checking for this now, but it wasn't even mentioned when I had #1.

Found out after he was born that I was positive for it (fortunately he was

fine) and had to make sure to have it checked for #2 and #3.
