Pregnancy Update: 30 Weeks

(So I had this post all typed up and everything last week, posted it from the blogger app on my phone and apparently instead of posting it went into limbo instead. Glad I checked! So, here is my 30 week bumpdate, even though its a week late.)

So I am 30 weeks!!

With my track record, I have less than 10 weeks left since I went into labor at 39 weeks with both girls.

I had my 30 week appointment yesterday and everything was great. Baby has been moving around like crazy, especially at night, and has a nice, strong heartbeat. I'm down to bi-weekly appointments now and next month I have a follow up ultrasound to make sure baby's urinary tract is developing properly (It was undersized at my 20 week, but doctor says its common and should fix itself before birth.)

My stomach feels soooo big and tight right now. I have been using lotion like crazy because it itches and I have already gotten some stretch marks. Most likely I have more on the way, but 3 pregnancies and I'm just now getting stretch marks so I guess I can't complain too much.

I am so tired anymore and can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I actually laid down with Kayleigh today to try and get her to take a nap and I feel asleep myself!! Kay and I were in a wedding over the weekend, me being the matron of honor and Kay being the flowergirl, and it took me a full day to recuperate from it. I pretty much did nothing but sleep Sunday and still ended up going to bed not too long after the girls did.

I've gotten pretty much everything we need for the baby. I was able to score a Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper for $40 off craigslist!! They typically go for $60-100 used but this lady only used it for a few months and needed to get rid of it for space so she priced it low. I also won a few items for baby, and I have the most adorable donut swaddle on the way as well! All we really need is a carseat and we are all set!

Kayleigh is excited to be a big sister again. She will ask to snuggle with 'her brother' all the time (she's convinced its a boy, so we just stopped trying to tell her, "brother OR sister"), she told me she wants to bring baby a balloon when she meets him for the first time, and has a list of all the things she wants to do when baby gets here. Lexi, on the other hand, will poke my belly and say, "Baby, out!" but it mostly unfazed.

I'm getting super excited that the end is in sight and can't wait to meet my little dude or dudette!
