30 week check-up

This morning was my 30 week check-up.. got to sleep in, too. Ahhh. Ben is sick with a cold, so Mike was staying home to take care of him so I could go to my appointment and still work. With my maternity leave quickly approaching, and only working 2 days a week on my payroll job, I gots lots to do!

Everything is a-ok though. I gained 3 pounds, BP fine, good pee, measuring right on track. The heart rate has dropped (due to its growing size) from 150 to 132. Nice and consistent though. It even gave a nice big kick when he was counting LOL! When I got to see the baby on the TV via ultrasound, it looked huge! Sure has grown in four weeks! It's turned into position more, not breach, but it's early to say if it will stay that way until d-day. It was curved slightly so it will probably do more flips and flops until then!

I have given up on finding the sex. It clearly doesn't want to share it! And now that it's even bigger, it's harder to see as it's curled up more. I told Mike I just need to respect it's wishes LOL! It's not that far away, and now I am looking forward to having that wonderful surprise of announcing boy or girl! Only until recently have I started to hear the names we have picked out, and it makes me smile wondering who this little one is :D

I go back in 4 weeks, and then after that it's every 2!
