30 Weeks

Happy 30 Weeks to me!!! Three-quarters of the way through my pregnancy and I am very excited! Doug is definitely excited too, I think he is missing his not pregnant wife. haha.

Baby Girl

She is a verrrry active baby. She loves trying to remove my ribs and hips, they just seem to be getting too much in her way. She still loves her Daddy and always shows off for him when he is around. The other day he came home from work and I was laying on the couch and she started kicking. Well he came over to feel her and her foot was poking out of my stomach. It was soo cool to see and feel. I thought she would only do it a few times, but that was not so. Doug kept saying "come on do it again" and she would. She kicked her foot then slid it along my belly. They definitely had a good time playing. Right before we go to bed Doug always says goodnight to her and she gives him a few kicks, then she stops when his hand is off of my stomach. It's pretty cool, and even if it is coincidental, I don't care, it is adorable.

Another thing that happened was our attempt at trying to hear her heartbeat. My doctor said that if Doug puts his ear right below my belly button, he would be able to hear her heart beat. Well we tried it, and all he could hear was my stomach gurgling. He was also able to feel our baby girl kicking him in the cheek. She did it twice and I laughed so hard, I started to cry! It was so funny. We've got a kick boxer on our hands.

Me

I have definitely been counting down the weeks until she comes, but over all I have felt pretty good. I am getting to the point where sleeping is really uncomfortable and I usually wake up with my back hurting pretty badly, but I figure the bigger I get, the more it will hurt and I can't do much about it.

Here is a list of things that I am thankful for while being 30 weeks pregnant.

1. An amazing husband that even if he's worked 12 hours that day, he always asks me how I am doing.

2. A yoga ball because I can't sit in real chairs very long or else my butt hurts. It also helps alleviate some back pain.

3. A Lazy Boy recliner that I can sleep in very comfortably.

4. Not being sick.

5. A wonderful sister who has sent me half of the wardrobe that I wear. Thanks Charisse!

6. A husband who is so excited to have a baby girl.

I am thankful for so much more, but it is the simple things that I really appreciate right now.

PS - Doug took that picture of me! He said I'm big enough now that he would take them. haha. He is so silly.

PPS - The dress I'm wearing is my sisters! It's so cute and I got so many compliments on it!
