30 weeks....10 to go!

Why does Mike think I'm having twins?? No twins that I know of, but do I look big or something?? Everyone tells me I just look like I swallowed a basketball. I do however, think I might have a Type A baby on the way. Up until this week I thought the baby was pretty tame and wasn't terribly wild in the womb or anything. This week...different story. If I could see the inside of my uterus right now it'd probably be black and blue. Peanut has been very busy this week or very mad at me, not sure. I thought Peanut slept like 90% of the time. I think the times were reversed this week. In fact, yesterday I had my very first limb sighting. I was standing in my closet deciding what to wear and felt this enormous kick and looked down and my belly was literally doing like a wave action thing. It was creepy. Next thing I know, I see a distinct limb (foot or hand, I couldn't quite tell) actually protrude an inch or so from my stomach and move across my belly. I screamed and went running for Ray pretty freaked out because its like there's an alien or something trapped in there. After a few moments I was laughing and then decided that it was pretty cute.

I also had another Doctor's appt this week and will now start to have more frequent visits. The doctor told me that Peanut was already "head-down" and would probably stay that way until birth. So I can only assume that was a foot I saw yesterday. Total weight gain thus far is 26lbs.

For the most part, Ray has been a great and supportive Baby Daddy so far. I went out and bought a full body size pregnancy pillow to see if it would help me sleep better and he's only complained about it...oh....lets say thirty times this week. He did however ask me if I had experienced Braxton Hicks contractions yet and I almost fell out of my chair. I couldn't believe that he knew what they were. I guess he's been reading or something???

My crazy dreams are back as I had a dream that Dawn had her baby and named her "Dana Wana" (Dana-wayna). They are getting expensive too! I had a dream that someone broke into our house in the middle of the night and Ray and I had to throw him over the landing. (We don't have a landing.) So I had the ADT guy come over two days later and now we are getting an alarm system installed this week.

Also this week the nursery furniture is being delivered, so we can start setting up the room. I can't wait to see what it looks like. Although because we only have 2 bedrooms the guest bed will stay in the baby's room until October when I go back to work. So it will be crowded in there for a little while. My Mom will be spending a lot of time here I'm sure especially while I'm still home and when I first go back to work. Wow, it's all happening very fast!!

I can't believe I typed this much...I didn't think I had much to say!!
