30 weeks

Yup, I am 30 weeks preggo today! Hooray for only having 10 weeks left to go! Not that this pregnancy has been horrible or anything, but i am getting to that point where i have a lot of discomforts, like sore ribs, back and hips. But of course, this little girlie is worth it all.

I had my 30 week check-up yesterday, and for the first time ever, i didnt come out of a check-up with all thumbs up and "everything looks great". Apparently little girl hasnt grown since my 28 week appointment. The NP i see said not worry about it until next time. And that if she's still not growing i will need another U/S... but if you are like me, the minute somebody says not to worry it is the only thing you can think about. I certainly feel larger, and she is moving around like a trooper. So i am hoping and praying that by following her orders of trying to relax more (haha- that works so well with a nearly 2 year old) and eating more protien my baby will grow next time. And then to make matters worse, i figure, well, i used to be a nurse and do these measurments so maybe she was just off.. so i go and measure myself to be only 27 weeks- ahg! Did not help with the no-worrying thing. So although this isnt a serious thing yet, i would still appreciate your thoughts and prayers so i can at least relax about the situation.

To take my mind off things and take up some time this morning, Jackson and i made a car out of a diaper box. I cut and taped and he decorated it with his crayons. It was fun and Jackson loves his car. It's so nice to do things a little out of the ordinary in a day. Its cold and rainy outside and all i really want to do is go walking. But this helped.

And who wouldnt be happy to do this with your baby boy when you get a smile like that out of it?

(yes, that pink blob is my belly, sorry, didnt realize it stuck out so far)
