Counting Down...

I saw our doctor yesterday for a regular check up. Let's see what the stats look like:
  • I'm at 30 weeks now
  • 21 lbs gained...probably 10 more to go
  • Belly movements normal
  • Pelvis pressure starting, hips are preparing for birth
  • still craving sweets!
  • feeling anxious about labor and hoping for no c-section
Doctor says everything is looking really good. She says the baby is about 3 lbs now and is looking to be a healthy size (6-8lbs). I mentioned that my pelvic bones were feeling like they were being pushed down, I assume by the baby. She said that's normal and to use my pregnancy belt when out and about, it helps to relieve the pain. It's true, if you're pregnant, get one of these belts. I'm still getting out 3-4 times a week to walk for 30 minutes and doing my prenatal Yoga stretching.

For now, I'm trying to enjoy the final stretch but I can't help thinking about getting to delivery day. That's my update for now, more later.
