01/29/10 - First internal appointment
Nurse Practitioner Tammy Rouleau swabbed for Group B streptococcus screening.
The GBS bacteria is usually harmless in healthy adults, but it can cause a relatively rare but very serious infection in newborns. (Group B is different from group A strep, the bacteria that causes strep throat.)

Between 10 and 30 percent of pregnant women carry GBS bacteria in the vagina or rectal area, where they may pass it to their babies during labor or birth. With proper prenatal testing and treatment during labor, though, the risk is small.

01/30/10 - Baby Moon
We had a mini baby-moon of sorts. Our friends invited us to join them at their Marriot timeshare in Newport Beach. It was very relaxing, we just played with our nephew, ate out, watched movies and chatted. The weather was a bit fresh to be at the pool or beach so we stayed indoors allot, which I never minded, it felt good to sit with my feet up for a change :-)
