Baby Girl: 30 Weeks

Last Thursday I went in at 29 weeks for my glucose test, when they measured my belly I was only measuring at 25 to 26 weeks, so the Doctor suggested that I do an ultrasound. The Doctor assured me that everything was probably fine and it was just the way I am carrying this time (low & wide) but it is better to be safe than sorry. I even gained 3 pounds since my last visit so I know I am getting bigger, not to mention that I just feel big!

Of course I had a moment of panic but I was also so excited for the surprise to see Baby Girl that morning! It was a little sad that Mike, my Mom, or Jack couldn't be there with me, but I wanted to get in as soon as possible so I wouldn't worry. She measured perfect all around and a few days ahead of schedule at 30 weeks, and I am carrying all of the fluids that I should be at this point. With Jack I didn't get an ultrasound so late in the pregnancy, it was amazing to see her so developed! She had one hand on her face at first and another on her ear. That will be the funniest thing if she is an ear rubber just like her big brother and Mom...and already in the womb! Her head is far down which explains why I am just carrying smaller, she is already 3.5 pounds, a good size at this point. Low and all around, just how I have been feeling has been confirmed by the medical community!

Still feeling so tired. I love naps. Feel very unproductive when I nap, but hey growing a healthy baby counts right?!?! Sweet treats are my craving and starting around 27 weeks I got a huge appetite, not hungry come dinner time but all day long. At 28 weeks her kicks starting getting really strong, now she moves my whole belly around! This time around I feel the baby get hiccups as well, Jack never really had those. Wearing almost all maternity clothes, and while I think maternity dresses make me look huge, they are too comfortable to pass up. Dizzy spells, nausea, and the third trimester hormones have all started...isn't my hubby so lucky:) We are still in shock and so excited that we are going to get to bring home a baby girl in just 2 months! Love her so much already!
