30 weeks!

Oh the end is in sight! As I type this I watch my already massive stomach move and warp like weird creature is trying to escape my stomach. He's also pushing on my bladder which was recently emptied but keeps making me feel like its crazy full. Love him already! :) So things look good. Still only getting like max 3 braxton hicks in an hour and that will vary throughout the day. Passed my glucose test (hallelujah!). But at my appt they told me there wasn't enough blood drawn for all the tests and it clotted too quickly. So I had to get more blood drawn but I was fine. Didn't even get queasy. I think its just the glucose stuff. Still measuring 1 to 2 weeks ahead. Got a good weight gain. The baby will probably gain about a half a pound a week here on out and I've gain about a pound since my last visit two weeks ago so that's on track. His heart rate is good. It actually spiked up when he kicked. Kind of cool to see that. I just feel so huge already and so uncomfortable. It seems worse than it was with Charlotte. My tailbone was killing me in church. My chiropractor just said I might need to get up and walk around a bit since most of the chairs or benches at church aren't really ergonomically correct. I had been totally fine before then and have been fine since but for whatever reason Sunday was a day of horrid tailbone pain. Oh well. Lets hope that doesn't happen too often from here on out.

I'm getting super stoked to have this little guy join our family. We're pretty set. I should have enough clothes... I think. I might be doing more laundry than I prefer but at least I know he's got clothes to wear and it'll be okay. My visiting teaching companion had an extra crib mattress she gave us. So I don't have to worry about buying a new one. Yahoo! Charlotte just got a load of hand me downs so she'll be set on clothes for a while too. Don't have a crib set. Not sure if I'm gonna get one though. I have some plain white sheets that I hardly used with Charlotte and I have plenty of blankets so I think this little guy's bed is set. The sets I like are so dang expensive and really its not necessary. So except for the bumbo that I'll want for the future I think we are set. I even stocked up on some diapers already! Go me! Now all we gotta do is get through Christmas and get my parents moved to wherever they will end up and then I can just prep and nest and all that good stuff.

The dr told me to wait 3 weeks to come back so I can technically be 32 weeks when I come in. Which is nice because it'll be Jan 2nd and after the holidays and Scott will hopefully have the day off. So I'll probably update again in 3 weeks. Time needs to fly! Oh and here is me at 30 weeks. I'm huge!
