Baby #3 - Week 30

New "Pregnancy" Developments: Baby seems to be hanging out a lot in the transverse. Lots of movement - slower, longer and bigger. Baby seems to startle or quiver often. It's a very strange feeling!

New "Baby" Developments: This baby seems to be most active after 9pm and continues throughout the night. Sometimes, when I lay on my right side, the baby will kick until I roll to the other side.

Cravings: Ice water with extra ice, chocolate, veggie sushi, Chili's Quesadilla Explosion Salad, Starbucks Iced White Tea (lowest in caffeine), Halos, Peanut M&M's, cherry sugar free kool-aid, mozzarella sticks, watermelon

Thoughts: Our family vacation is coming up! I NEED this trip!

Random-ness: Kipton and Ellie seem to be more interested in my pregnancy and the baby. I can't even explain how this warms my heart. They are so excited! I still get weekly, sometimes daily, baby checks with Dr. Junie (Ellie's alter ego). She gets out her doctor kit and provides an examination. She can usually say whether the baby is happy or sad. She has continued to say that she sees a girl in there. It usually ends with the application of medicine (lotion) all over my belly. Love it.

To Do List: Paint walls. Narrow list of names. Fix chimney. Fix roof. Nursery (5% done). Move Ellie's furniture into nursery and buy her new. Find child care. Rest.

Things I can check off the To Do List: Nothing... we were on vacation and then recouping from it LOL

30-Week Appointment Stats: My bp 122/75. Heart rate 136 bpm. Measuring 35 weeks (still 5 weeks ahead). Doctor ordered a growth ultrasound every 4 weeks and weekly NSTs, starting in 2 weeks. VBAC chances are not looking as likely. Trying to stay positive despite the new odds.

30-Week Growth Ultrasound: Baby is in the 85th percentile or 4lbs 1oz. I do have extra fluid. Baby is transverse with face/feet toward trips.
