Week 30

Last 10!!! Whaaaahooooo!!!! I have a secret hope that somehow this baby will come a bit on the early side. (Like 38, 39 weeks.) But if she doesn't turn head down, who knows what will happen. The little skunk! I don't think she has actually been head down at all this pregnancy, but I can't tell for sure. It does worry me a bit as, I really, really, really, really, don't want a C section. I could get a tattoo to cover the scare, but I don't want major abdominal surgery! Just go head down already! I had a prenatal with Joy and the baby was definitely transverse. Today I could feel her head bumping around under my ribs.She has been in my ribs since she was big enough to be up here. 

Week : 30

What I love: BEING ALMOST DONE! I can't believe it's only two more months. It makes me very happy. I keep thinking about it being January and how the 4th of January, I will be 38 weeks. That's not very long from now. I still like feeling her, but she is definitely making her presence known. I have a lot less room and have been more uncomfortable this week. 

What I hate: Having to think about how I'm sitting ALL. THE. TIME! At work I sit on a giant ball to keep my pelvis forward so she has more of a chance to go head down. At home I sit on the floor leaning forward, or in our office chair backwards for the same reason. I want to just slouch in a chair without a care in the world! But I am serious about getting her head down, so uncomfortable sitting will be happening for two more months. I also have not enjoyed the fatigue. I can't believe how tired I am. Seriously. I thought I would be over that by now, but nope. I am still sleepy all day long. I guess it's just going to be this way  until she's two. 

What I miss: I miss my body. I miss having it to myself and doing all the non pregnant things with it. I try not to think about it all the time as I don't want to make myself antsy and crazy by wishing for things that I have to wait for, but I am missing being not pregnant. I can't tell you how many times I say to myself, "It's not very long, it's only X amount of time left. I've already gone SO far!" It helps, but I am still drawing nigh to the being all done phase. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: Being finished worrying about the birth. It will be nice to be done with it and not have that nagging in the back of my mind all the time. I look forward to holding her just for fun and seeing what she looks like too. 

Sleep: Yep. I could sleep all day. I am still sleeping well, which is why I take every opportunity to do so. I know it won't last forever, so I am really getting my naps in there when I have the chance. 

Bra Size: C. I feel gigantic. I know it will be worse when my milk comes in, but I look forward to the days of shrinkage. 

Wedding rings on or off: Off, though I try it on every once in a while and it fits most of the time. I could wear it, if I wasn't so annul about not wearing it when I work out. 

Weight:168  Weight Gain: 25lbs. So yep, I'm there. Definitely on course for 35 lbs, but I don't really care. As long as it's not more then 1 lbs a week, I'm fine. 

Worries: Like I said before, that I'll need a C section because the bugger won't go head down. 
Developments: A big less room to breath, a bit bigger all over and looking fairly puffy. (In my opinion.) A few more aches and pains, but still not much overall. 


Things of Interest: I can't think of any. I do have an appointment with an OB in FBX on the 24th. Which means I get to be talked down too. Yippee. The Clinic really wanted me to set up a medical provider incase of transfer, so I am being obedient. BUT, he may want to do an ultrasound, which would be kind of cool. 

Mood: Good. Though, I think Dan might disagree with that. :) I feel happy, but then I bite people's heads off without warning, sooooo, pregnant. BUT I don't feel grumpy about it, which is good. 

Movement:  Yep. She's still thumping about in there. 

The belly (and the button!): Big. 

Measurements: Chest:  Waist:   Midsection: 39  Hips: 41  Thighs: 

Exercise: I only got four days in this week as we unexpectedly went somewhere on Saturday, so I didn't have time. Though I did walk both Monday and Wednesday. But I wasn't counting that as exercise. BUT it kind of is. 

Eating: Good. No sugar during the week is helping and I feel good about it. 

The weekly pics: 

Amniotic fluid: A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds your baby. That volume will peak over the next few weeks and then decrease as your baby gets bigger and fills out your uterus.

Eye: Your baby is able to distinguish between light and dark. At birth, her vision will be about 20/400, which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face.

Uterus: As your uterus grows, your balance will be off and you may feel clumsy.

And me.
