As of Friday the 26th, I am 30 weeks pregnant.  Only 10 more to go!  We had his baby shower this weekend.  Looking at his car seat and crib makes things seem even more real. 

This week, the kicks have been stronger and more frequent.  Sometimes my belly looks like a waterbed!  They’ve also been more spread out.  And by that, I mean I feel a kick or punch just under the ribcage and on the bladder at the same time, so he is getting taller.

I had a doctor’s appointment Wednesday in which I waited nearly 2 hours for a 3 minute appointment, but the important thing is – all is well..  

Today I am 29 weeks pregnant.  This week, it seems like I’ve been feeling the muscles in my stomach.  They feel tired.  It reminds me of how I feel after a long set of crunches.  I guess this could be due to my muscles stretching to accommodate another growth spurt from the baby.

Wednesday I had an appointment with the specialist.  My son is growing as he should be and he weighs just over 3 pounds.  The doctor said that was right in the middle of normal, and that he should at least double his weight from here on out.  

As of yesterday, I am 28 weeks pregnant.  This week was pretty routine.  No major changes, just a little more discomfort when trying to sleep.  I also find that some days I run out of steam pretty quickly.  As for exercise, I did a little walking.

Today I had an OB appointment and I now weigh 140 lbs.  I also had my glucose screening test.  I drank a sweet drink that tasted like Orange Crush, and had my usual appointment during the hour that I waited.  The baby’s heartbeat was taken, I was measured for fundal height, and this time I watched a short movie about C-sections.
