Some other awesome news:� My friend, Justina, whom I graduated high school with and whose baby was supposed to be due two weeks before mine, just gave birth yesterday morning to an adorable little baby boy named CJ (Charles Joseph) - 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 19.25 inches.� Justina's labor was induced, and it sounds like she took the super-fast progression of her labor like a champ.� Congratulations to Justina and Frank on their new baby!� Check out [Justina's blog](http://supermommyinstinks.blogspot.com/) - I'm sure she'll be posting CJ's birth story at some point, and I'm very excited to hear all about it!� It only makes me even more excited to meet my own little Baby Lump soon! Monday I had my 36 week appointment, and my doctor said everything is going well with Baby Lump.� She also indicated that even if I end up delivering late, she highly doubts that Baby Lump will reach the massive weight James was when he was born.� According to her estimates, Baby Lump will be a maximum of 9 lbs.� Still a big baby, but definitely nowhere near as daunting as 11 lbs! � Unfortunately though, the results from my [Group B Strep](http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/groupbstrepinfection.html) test came back positive.� My doctor didn't seem too concerned.� Apparently 10 to 20 percent of pregnant women will develop the infection, and they're not really sure of the cause.� Basically, it means I'll need to be injected with penicillin through an IV every four hours during my delivery.� So much for my perfectly normal pregnancy.� Oh well - things could definitely be worse!� Let's just hope for the best and that Baby Lump isn't the one in 4,000 babies that gets infected! **Oven Timer: **36 weeks, 2 days [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219576/All-My-Bags-Are-Packed-I-m-Ready-To-Go) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [Announcements](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/announcements), [Planning](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/planning), [36 weeks](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/36-weeks), [group b strep](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/group-b-strep), [hospital bag](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/hospital-bag), [Twitter](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/twitter) [All posts](https://www.littlebabylump.com/all) Search ### Subscribe by Email ### [![rss](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/hub/188884/file-313297286.png?width=34&height=36&name=file-313297286.png)](http://littlebabylump.com/rss.xml)   RSS Feed ### Recent Posts ### Popular Posts ### Posts by Month - [January 2014 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2014/01) - [December 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/12) - [November 2013 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/11) - [October 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/10) - [September 2013 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/09) - [January 2011 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2011/01) - [November 2010 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/11) - [October 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/10) - [September 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/09) - [August 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/08) - [July 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/07) - [June 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/06) - [May 2010 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/05) - [April 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/04) - [March 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/03) - [February 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/02) - [January 2010 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/01) - [December 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/12) - [November 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/11) - [October 2009 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/10) - [September 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/09) - [August 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/08) - [July 2009 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/07) - [June 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/06) - [May 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/05) - [April 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/04) - [March 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/03) - [February 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/02) - [January 2009 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/01) - [December 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/12) - [November 2008 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/11) - [October 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/10) - [September 2008 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/09) - [August 2008 (10)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/08) - [July 2008 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/07) [See All](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/36-weeks#)
