30 Weeks

I can't believe I'm 30 weeks already.  I'm down to less than 2 months since they won't let me go past my due date.

Here are our family's thoughts about my pregnancy:

Joe: just gets really confused when we talk about the baby in my tummy.  He then talks sternly to my belly and says, "Baby come out!"

Clara: Now that she's warmed up to the idea of having another boy, she is super excited.  She hugs and kisses my tummy almost every day.  She is also very helpful in reminding me about food I can and cannot eat due to my gestational diabetes.  Even when she's pretending to cook for for Jeremy and I, she'll bring Jeremy a plate and tell him she's made him a strawberry cupcake.  She brings me broccoli and chicken soup.  Also, if she does see me eating an occasional piece of chocolate, she says, "Mom, you aren't supposed to eat that!"  I remind her that technically I can eat it as long as I stay under my allotted carbs.

Jeremy: Is just happy that both baby and I continue to be healthy.  He takes such good care of me and won't let me do too much. 

Me: I can't believe I can still fit into my non maternity clothes.  They definitely aren't as comfortable as my maternity clothes, but I can still wear them. 
I also can't believe that I don't look any bigger than the picture I took at 21 weeks (to see pic click here, then scroll to the bottom.) Most people can't even tell I'm pregnant, which is a little frustrating because I definitely feel very pregnant. 
This little guy moves around all the time.  I constantly feel him wiggling, which is both a blessing and a curse.  I'm carrying him very low, so my bladder lets me know it's not happy every time he moves.  But I love not having to stress about a still birth because I usually don't have to wait very long to feel him move if I get too worried.
Even though I'm considered a high risk and have LOTS of appointments to keep track of, I love getting to check up on our little guy so often.  I have so many ultra sound pictures!  I also love how easily Joe will go to a friends house because he knows Mommy has to go to the Drs again!  And despite my high risk pregnancy, everything continuse to go well.  At my last appoinment, my Dr thanked my for being the least complicated complicated pregnancy they have!
