Weight gain: Eh, maybe close to a pound? Not really sure. I've decided that since I'm now going to the doctor every two weeks, I'll just wait for my official weight at those, instead of messing with the Wii and then trying to compare the two scales. The scale in the bathroom has me up 20-21lbs since the beginning, which isn't too bad for (hopefully) less than 10 weeks left. I've had the munchies like nobodies business over the weekend, so here's hoping it's just the baby having a growth spurt and not my butt! I did manage to fit into a pair or pre-pregnancy jeans this morning (with the hair tie trick) but they are the stretchy kind and not the most flattering pants I have. I'm really starting to get low on clothes that look halfway decent on me, but no way am I going to spend money on clothes that I could only wear for a few more months.
Movements: Still all the time. He seems to be putting his feet down more often here lately, since I'm getting some nice crotch shots. I can tell just by his regular movements, though, that he's still breech. I know I still have some time to try to convince him to move, but I'd by lying if I said I wasn't worried about it. I'm a planner, so to not know how Declan will enter this world has been getting to me.
Irrational fears this week: Besides his position, I guess maybe his cord? It's been all up in his business the last few weeks. I'm not that worried about it, but to see his cord actually _looped_ right in front of his face/neck makes me want him to turn even more. Other than that, I've been good this week. Isn't it funny how some weeks I'm all chill about all things baby and then other weeks I'm convinced I have some genetic markers that are going to suddenly pop up? I'd blame it on pregnancy hormones, but I'm a worrier by nature. DH and I compliment each other pretty well because dude doesn't worry about anything! He calms me down and I make him actually take notice if somethings up. :)
Mood wise I'm doing ok. With two other rugrats running around, I can't spend my entire day thinking about baby or counting down the weeks as much (like I would, and did, with my first). Just this week alone we have two preschool days, gymnastics, 2 T-Ball games, and the kids are seeing both my MIL and my parents. It's no wonder these last 7.5mo have just flown by! I'm really trying to slow things down a bit and just enjoy all his rolls/kicks and punches because that is the part I'm really going to miss about being pregnant. The never-ending morning sickness I've had, the breakouts like a teenage boy, and the mood swings I could do without! LOL. I also had another pee-when-you-sneeze accident today. All I can do is laugh about it. ;)
30 weeks!
I also want to take a moment and ask that everyone please send either a prayer or some well wishes out to my young cousin (about to be 18 here soon) who got into a bad car accident late Friday night. Outcome right now is paralyzed from the waist down, which is devastating to anyone, but especially to a high school kid with his whole life in front of him. He's been a trooper and is already about to start therapy on his arms to build his strength back up. His mom (who is my first cousin and the sweetest person ever) got the call this weekend that every parent fears, so hold your babies close today and give them an extra kiss. <3
