30 weeks.... that's 210 days of being
pregnant...
I am grateful that things have gone
well so far. The little guy is healthy and growing and all is well. I
can't help but be paranoid that something is going to go wrong. I'm
sure our little boy will be happy and healthy, I just worry that I'll
have to get induced or something again. Basically labor was hell
last time and I'd like to avoid such hellish-ness this time. I
seriously doubt it'll be any better though. So part of me feels like
I'm just waiting for the Dr to tell me I have low fluid again. On the
other hand, if I'm not induced and I have an even faster labor I may
not make it to the hospital at all... ugg.
Told you- paranoid.
Now for the facts:
Our little boy should be just over 3
lbs and almost 16 inches long. Yes, this does make me look like I ate
a watermelon whole.
My weight gain- why does anyone ever
even talk about that?
He's kicking and turning frequently!
It's weird to be able to see it from the outside. Like Dainen, he
likes to get up under my ribs. He gets hiccups too!
His name- he has one! Has had an
official name for a few weeks now. I had more say with Dainen's name
(cause I was heartset on it) so Quinn got more say this time. The
middle name with Dainen was a lot easier. This time we had a first
name for weeks before settling on a middle name.
We'll announce his name when he gets
here: I find it funny that that bugs some people =). No, that's not
why we do it. With Dainen it was so nice to have people come to the
hospital and be able to tell them “this is our son, Dainen Kai”.
Looking forward to doing that again.
I'm pretty tired of being pregnant at
this point, I'm glad there is only about 10 weeks left. Excited to
meet this little guy!
