Leabie, I'd appreciate any further info you can glean from your SIL, thanks. I agree; time is flying. Have a great babymoon. A week in Hervey Bay sounds fabulous.

Thanks, Jaki, good to hear it caused no problems for three of your friends. Of course I don't know if I have it or not; I am going to try to get it out of my OB at the next visit.

Juniper, thanks for offering to help with a new ticker. I'm too lazy and tired to change it, though, and am quite attached to my lucky four-leaf clover ticker. (I'm quite superstitious). Re strep B, as I said, I don't know if I have it as my OB won't tell me (I'll get it out of him by hook or by crook!) but at least he is alive to the issue and will give me antibiotics either at a scheduled c/s or beforehand if my waters break. I am going to ask him what are the chances of my babies getting sick if I am given antibiotics. I did some research and a UK site said the chances of babies getting ill is really low. Great news on getting your nursery theme stuff picked up. Not long till you start setting everything up then? How great if the patio is done before Xmas! We need to get some blinds for our patio but the $$$ have run out so we'll have to wait and try to save up.

Maggie, so sorry to hear about your sister. I will definitely insist on having antibiotics regardless. Thank you. Sounds like you are really busy ATM with renovations etc. Hope you get it all finished and can move in soon.
