30 weeks

I am 30 weeks this week. I really cannot believe that I have made it to the 30 weeks. It was just yesterday that I was 8 weeks pregnant. I know that I say that I cannot believe it from week to week but when you try for so long, it really is so surreal that you make it from week to week.

Alot of the same from last week. The third trimester is here and here with a vengeance. If this is G-d's way of foreshadowing what is to come, I quite frightened :) My pregnancy with Morgan was a breeze and so is she. Does this mean that my baby, my second child, will be a handful? Morning sickness has become a daily thing, lasting mostly in the morning. Today the nauseousness lasted for most of the day. I have been EXHAUSTED! I have been waking up in the middle of the night for several hours a night and being very tired during the day. I wind up taking a nap for 1-2 hours most days and still feeling tired.

I had my 30 week appointment at the doctor today. It went well, although I gained 5 pounds in the past 2 weeks. Once again, he has asked me to watch my sugar intake. I asked for guidelines re: sugar intake. he told me to keep it under 40 grams per day. I will work really hard to follow his guidelines. He asked me about the baby's movement and I told him that some days she moves alot and other days she barely moves. I told him I know that this is because of my tilted uterus, anterior placenta, and extra fluid. He said he would like to, for now on at all of my appointments he will do a Biophysical Profile, which includes some ultrasounds and monitoring. I will be having appointments every 2 weeks until week 34 weeks and then weekly appointments until delivery. He did a Biophysical Profile today with an ultrasound. The baby looked great. She weighed 3lb. 13 oz. When they started the ultrasound, the baby was sleeping and then she started stretching and waking up. She looked so CUTE!

Until next time......
