You mention BTI in regards to avoiding mosquitoes breeding around homes. Where could I get this?

You can find it on Amazon and at most home improvement stores. Hope that helps!

Beautiful presentation! Very interesting that you mention that urine should be cultured for GBS (and other bacteria). I thought GBS was only a concern at birth.

Thank you for laying this all out I'm hoping this will help me remember. I'm expecting but already feel like I got "mom brain"
