30 Weeks

I really can't believe how quickly 30 weeks have gone by. It really seems like just yesterday I wasn't pregnant. I was shocked when at my last doctor's appointment they said I'd start seeing them every 2 weeks. Every two weeks sounded scary at the time, but I think I had more questions at my last appointment then all the others before combined. So I figured that's why I need to go every two weeks now.

My appointment this week was great. The baby is doing great, all my tests have been coming back good, my weight is good and I'm feeling decent. All of which is also shocking to me. Although, I've wanted to have kids, I've been terrified to be pregnant...still am. I'm amazed that everything is going so well. I really do try to be conscience of my emotions and try to be calm and relaxed as much as possible. Hopefully it's doing some good. Matt and I have so many things up in the air, it would be so easy for me to just freak out. I think I hide it well in public, but I'm pretty emotional. I keep tell people that I think if I weren't pregnant I wouldn't be handling everything so well. Thanks B-dub.

Granted, Matt does miss most of my day-to-day issues (lucky guy), he gets some glimpses and has been great. A few weeks ago I told him that I wake up in the middle of the night all the time on my back and it worries me. They say you're not supposed to be on your back because of blood circulation to the baby. I never know how long I've been in that position and worries me from time to time. It's getting better, I think it's because I'm bigger and rolling around in the middle of the night now knowing it, doesn't really happen now. Matt was in GR this week and woke me up in the middle of the night saying, "Laura, I think you're on your back." I actually had just woken up a few minutes earlier, so I was awake already, but wasn't on my back. I told him I wasn't and that it was ok. It was super dark and I knew he couldn't see me and probably couldn't tell what part of me was what, but I just thought it was so sweet. It had been forever since I mentioned that to him and he still remembered. :)

FYI for family that are asking - we are registered at Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby. I'm sorry they are both in GR and not in Northern Michigan, but it was the best we could do and you can get stuff online.

Really, only 10 weeks left... amazing.
