30 weeks today! wow, time really does fly. Only 10 more weeks. Obviously I am very interested in 1) are you a boy or a girl? and 2) who do you look like? My husband is white, blond hair, blue eyed. I am brown, with brown eyes and brown hair. So it really is a crap shoot on what this kid will look like. Three of my four nephews on my side all have light eyes and only two have really brown skin. It makes me so excited to meet this one!
I've been feeling good still. Sleep has been good for now. But I feel more tired during the day then I did in my first trimester. And the side sleeping is killing me. I always end up on my back. At my 28 week appointment, I had officially gained 16 lbs in total. It made me happy HOWEVER 7 of that was in the last four weeks, which made me a bit nervous I am rolling downhill fast. It seems this baby is bulking up. Hopefully these last weeks I don't gain too much weight. My doctor does have me now coming to see him every two weeks already because of the IVF and the fibroid incident so I go back on Monday. I first thought I would go full term with this one but now maybe I am thinking it will come early. Not that I want it to. Me and the baby had many conversations where I have stated it needs to stay in there at minimum another 6 weeks, then it can come anytime.
Today we picked up our infant car seat and Pack n Play. J works closely with Rubbermaid so we got 50% off of both! So I did not register for either of these knowing they were such a good deal. When we got home I took the car seat out of the box and cried! Damn hormones. All I keep thinking is this is real, there is a baby inside of me that will be using this seat that we will be responsible for. Pregnancy is so funny. At least for me it may not hit me 100% until this baby is out that it is really happening.
I've been so happy to read about a few new pregnancies! Hooray for Emily at a blanket 2 keep and Toni at Who is this Fertile Myrtle?! And all the new babies being born as well as the ones getting so big! It's amazing how many of these blogs have changed so much in this last year.
I'm still praying for all of you still waiting for your babes. Every night a special prayer for all of you.
Well I guess that is it for now. I need to be better at updating not just reading!
HOLY COW!!! It's gone by so fast....I can't believe you're already 30 weeks...definitely in the home stretch now...So excited for you....hope everything continues to go well and you have a happy healthy baby...I can't wait for pictures....
ReplyDeleteHappy 30 weeks!!! WOW! I know the weirdest things would make me cry while I was all jacked up on the preggo hormones :) For some reason, the car seat definitely makes it all crazyyyyy. Wait till you install in the car. You might have a mini panic attack (in a good way) haha
ReplyDeleteRe: boy or girl, a newly pregnant friend of mine recently pointed out that there are really no "bad" options here. It's not like a multiple-choice exam where your outcomes are either 1) Boy, 2) Girl, or 3) Troll. I think we can safely rule out troll so it will be nothing but exciting to find out about your baby on his or her birthday! :-)
ReplyDeleteDirty Thirty!!! I've had the car seats for a month and still haven't taken them out of their boxes. I'm sure I will have the same reaction though!
