30 Weeks

Drew and I haven't done a very good job of remembering to take belly pictures lately so unfortunately, I don't have any to share this week. We were busy over the weekend with childbirth class, which was definitely an eye-opening experience! It feels good to have some knowledge of what may happen, although I'm sure nothing goes as planned. One of our friends joked that she thought Drew would surely pass out while watching the extremely graphic videos but he did great. I'm confident he'll be a good labor buddy. Of course, he may be scarred for life after seeing the overly unattractive women in all kinds of overly unattractive positions but at least he remained upright the whole time.

With only 10 weeks to go, it has hit me how quickly our little bundle will be here and how much we have to do before she makes her arrival. Yes, panic has set in. Drew reminds me that we have plenty of time but as I make my many "Nesting To-Do Lists" I can't help but be overwhelmed. Thank goodness I can stay at home and worry about this stuff all day long!

I also had a doctor appointment yesterday, just for another routine check. I passed my glucose test so that was a huge relief! Unfortunately, my blood pressure was up yet again, which is no surprise (especially given that I'm fretting over all my lists). Just to be safe, they want to see me again next week and do another ultrasound. This will enable them to check the baby's growth and make sure everything is on track. I'm excited to see how much she's grown since the last ultrasound at 18 weeks. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get a 4-D image? More to come then...
