I'm starting my count down now. 8 weeks or less to go since Dr. J. or Dr. Flintstone as Michael likes to call him (because he's a character, he delivered me and therefore old) said he wouldn't let me go past 38 weeks.
On one hand, 8 weeks makes me feel panicked. There is still so much to do, my shower isn't until June 12th and until then, I pretty much have a bare nursery with the exception of furniture. I had a dream the other night that the babies were born early and we didn't have any mattresses for the cribs nor did we have diapers (both of which are a current reality) so the babies had to sleep in the bathtub and they were wrapped in the shower curtain liner. Talk about Mother of the Year! Clearly, I don't feel prepared.
On the other hand, I feel huge and cannot imagine my body handling 8 more weeks of this while getting bigger. Carrying this extra weight really takes a toll on one's body and it makes me thankful that I'm fit and healthy both pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy.
How far along: 30 weeks
Weight gain/loss: 24 lbs
Maternity clothes: yes
Sleep: between bathroom breaks, switching sides to sleep on and braxton hicks contractions waking me up, sleep has not been the best
Best moment this week: putting all the furniture into the nursery
Food cravings: pineapple, unfortunately the pineapple I bought was so bitter
Gender: boy/girl
What I'm missing: a good nights sleep
What I'm looking forward to: our next ultrasound in an hour - can't wait to see my sweet son and daughter
Oh my gosh Rebecca, I can't believe you're 30 weeks pregnant already. It seems like pregnancy flies by when it's not your own.
ReplyDeleteI think you look fantastic. And don't panic, everything will come together in time for babies arrival.
