30 weeks

30 WEEKS

2 weeks ago I had a doctors appointment and I gained a whopping 10 pounds that month! CRAZZZYYYY.Although I dont feel like I eat anymore or any worse than when Iam not preg I decided enough was enough. I needed to make a change. So I decided to drink only water and eat only air.

Well I tried that for half a day until I got hungry and that went out nthe window.

But I didnt cut back on carbs ,fats , sugar, portion control. etc!In other words I spend my days hungry and thinking about what I wish I could eat.

I had another docs appoint yesterday 2 weeks later and I only gained 3 pnds. Sure that was 3 pounds in 2 weeks but at least it wasnt 5 pounds.

I did eat a few meals that i wouldnt normally have because Pat and I were away but I was half pleased at it only being 3 pounds.

So the grand total so far is 186.5

With both the boys I finished around 200 pounds.

So my goal is to stay under 200! I have been gaining a few more pounds this time around but now that Iam strickly watching what I eat and now that the westher is nicer hopefully getting out and going walking!

Wenesday I had a second ultrasound.

At our 20 weeks ultrasound , it was discovered that my placenta was postioned low . It was 1.8cm and it is suposed to be 2cm . whatever that means. So they booked another ultrasound to make sure it moved up into postion!

Apparently if it didnt move it could block the baby from getting out thru the birth canal .

So wenesdays ultrasound showed a placenta in the right place. Thnx God. I certainly wasnt interested in a C section.

Also I found out the weight of the baby.

30 weeks 3lbs 3ounces

Wow that sounded so small. I figured it would be 5-6 pounds already.

I met with my doc yesterday and he said that that wieght for 30 weeks is in the 48th percential .

which means that is a average size baby at this point and he said by its current weight it is looking like it will be a average size at birth!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

I am still a little leary but if u think about it for the baby to jump from 3 lbs to 11 lbs in 10 weeks is pretty extreme.

7 pounds is alot to grow in 10 weeks.

So here to hopeing!

It will be very strange to have a 8 pound baby. It will be awesome to exerience that!

I left the docs pretty excited!

Iam thinking first sign of labour I better hit the hospital, cuz Iam pretty sure a 8 pound baby would shoot right out after the first 2.

Oh yea, so 2 weeks ago I my stomache measured 29 cm and yesterday it jumped to 32 cm! wow. but good news is its not because of a large baby! woot woot!

( the cm should match up to the week of pregnancy u r in. so it should be 30 cm.)

I usually am 1-2 cm bigger than my week!

but weird to think in 2 weeks my belly grew 3 cm.

Iam also thinking that some of my wieght gain is water , because I can see it in my legs, and face and back. which is sort of encouraging because within the first few weeks it goes away and then Iam just left with the actual fat that was gained but the scale is much easier to look at!

I got current pictures of the baby.

profile!

I didnt find the pictures that great so I just took a picture of them all.



                        The baby is a squirmer thats for sure. So neat to see them on the inside!

Next doctors appoint is March 30th . My goal is to only gain 2 pounds. which is normal . a pound a week is what m ost people gain after the first trimester!

Mommy is slacking!

                                                                Check out those kids!!!!!

 they are chomping on their Timmies Treats as Weston calls them. Mommy has been sort of a slacker lately. Ive loosened up a bit and actually bought them a plain timbit!!!! hahahah not a bog deal for most but it is for me.

You want to know why????? cuz I wanted a sour cream one! love them . sooooooo good.

Notice how there isnt a picture of me chowing down! I didnt want the evidience of me eating it and then everyone would know mine wasnt a timbit but a big donut! hahaha joking . It honestly was only a timbit ! I SWEAR.

Bedtime joy

                                                                   CARWASH TIME
                                                     

Mister helpful getting his brother ready for the car wash! surpised Nelson isnt screaming like he usaully does when Weston tries to come near him!

It's 5:59 and the boys are carwashed , in their jammies and cuddled on the couch with mommy. We have the lights off and laptop playing fireman sAm. We r tightly tuck together on the couch. Weston , Nelson in the middle and me on the end . I have my Arm tucked around Nelson which puts my hand right by westons . I say " Weston hold my hand k! And he tucks it right in mine like it was made to fit perfectly. Awww what a feeling !!!!! But just when I think it couldn't get Any better than this, I feel nelsons little fingers working their way into our entangled fingers!!!!!! So sweet! Perfect moment! And it was only about a moment, until they were pushing each other a bit because they couldn't see the screen! Absorb the little moment's cuz sometimes they can feel few and far between.

Aww Nelson just kissed me( whileIi was typing) out of the blue!!!!!! Great night!

Another favorite thing is when out of the blue Nelson will look over at me and wink at me and then smiles.

It's double eye blink but he thinks he's winking at me like I wink at him. It's just the best when I didn't wink at him first and he just decides he wants to wink at me . I think he is saying he loves me!!!!!!

And in 15 min I will be completely filled with bedtime joy when the boys are in bed and i am on the couch relaxing watching the Bachelorette!!!!!! ( it's wenesday and the house is clean and quiet because it's just me and 2  sleeping boys ! Love u wenesday!)

                                                 
                               Nelson rocking him self in the rocker while I sing him "jesus loves me"

( you have to train them young to be independant! hahaha he likes to rock himself, that's my boy! haha)



All tucked in and ready for dreaming!
