Week 34 Doctor Visit

We just got back from our doctor visit. They tested me for some bacteria that 20% of women have that can effect the baby during pregnancy. I'll find out my results during my next appointment in 2 more weeks. I'm not expecting an issue but really, the worst thing that will happen is I test positive and they have to give me antibiotics via IV during labor to keep the baby healthy. 

The doc also said the heartbeat is still very strong and I'm measuring just perfect. My weight gain is right on track and blood pressure is just fine. 

They aren't doing anymore ultrasounds unless there is a problem so I really won't know the exact weight or anything of the baby as far as I know. Averages however, the baby is just under 5 pounds and around 18 inches long. 

Our next visit is when they start the internal exams to see how I'm progressing and make any sort of estimations on when I might go into labor. We'll see... nothing is exact, thats for sure.
