We're Growing

Week 24

Week 30 (Check out Javy's cameo :) )

I have been horrible about documenting the belly's "progress," I suppose in part I don't feel very photogenic these days... the scale is mostly to blame for that.  I think we have finally reached the point where waddling is acceptable and people are a little more apt to hold the door for you... OH! and if I were the type to use the "Expectant Mothers Parking," I would feel confident doing so now.

The belly is BIG... measured the uterus today at 29 inches... which normal is between 28 & 32 at this point; yay potentially small baby!  After childbirth class last week and the discussions regarding labor (both natural and C-section) I was anxious to know how they guestimated baby size without doing another ultrasound.  The doc assured me today that given my birth weight and how my uterus is currently measuring, there is no need right now to worry about birthing a whopper!  Whew!

Things to look forward to in the coming weeks:

• Doctor appointments every 2 weeks
• Baby shower in Danville next weekend (Cannot wait!)
• Finishing the nursery
• Preggy photos (my Christmas gift from Ron) mid-February
• Baby shower in Charlottesville (Cannot wait!)
• Baby shower with the college girlies (Cannot wait!)
• Breastfeeding class!  Whoop whoop! 
• Oh yeah!  My b-day is in there somewhere too... my last one without being a mama and my last one in my 30's.... where has the time gone?  

So many exciting things to look forward to! XOXO (Can you tell I have been watching wayyyy too much Gossip Girl?)
