Monday evening was my 30-week checkup and everything turned out great. I weighed in at 163 lbs which is good. That’s 1 pound per week like he told me to do. My last check up was 2 weeks ago. I measured once again right on the money for 30 weeks… 30 cm. We heard the heartbeat which now sounds like it is going to beat right through my skin! My blood pressure was 110/60 so that was a little bit lower than the last visit, which is also wonderful. No more blood work or any testing until week 36 so my visit was pretty short and sweet. The next appointment is November 2nd.
One of the great things about Dan being such a huge guy is that I now have ready access to very comfortable clothes. Monday was my first time delving in and I wore a long sleeved t-shirt of his to the doctor. It was super comfortable. He and I both got a chuckle out of seeing me in it. It honestly was only too big in the arms but was just perfect around the belly. If only I could wear stuff like that to work!
Nathan is now kicking and moving around a ton. Sometimes I wonder if he will just kick his way out! It’s so neat though to feel him and see him move, although when he kicks because he’s hungry I feel sorry for him. I’ve been in situations before where I cannot eat and I can tell he’s super hungry.
I had my “uh oh” moment on Sunday when I realized I was 30 weeks. There’s only roughly 10 weeks to go, assuming Nathan is born right on time. I had a little panic, thinking I wonder if this will be a lot harder than I am imagining it to be, or can we really do this. We need to start looking at cribs seriously and really plan, just in case Nathan comes early. I am sure all pregnant parents have there *gasp* moment and mine was just a few days ago. Dan was really good about calming me down and reassured me that I’ll be a great mom and can handle it. So I guess the search is on now for baby furniture!
