30 Weeks, 3 Days

I went to the dr yesterday. The baby is estimated to weigh 4 lbs, 2 oz. I think I said already that I do not have Gestational Diabetes. The group B Strep test is coming up and hopefully I won’t have that. I did have it last time though. So excited for the countdown. I want it to get here fast but, then again, the kids and I are still pressing on with math and a little other schoolwork. I kind of wish the baby’s arrival was before co-op starts but the due date is a few weeks after co-op has begun. 😧 The pregnancy is starting to get s little more uncomfortable but not bad. Certain positions are painful, the baby feels really heavy in some places sometimes and that can hurt, starting to need some Tums like I usually do nearing the end, and I’ve been making several bathroom trips all day and throughout the night because the baby’s head rests on my bladder. I love getting to experience pregnancy at our new house and neighborhood! The summer has been fun! Sam and I made a vegetable garden with Derrick’s help one weekend! So far we have 🌿 basil, tomatoes 🍅, and peppers 🌶.  I have been making Caprese salad A LOT, which no one else around here cares to eat. The tomatoes and basil could save me a lot of money! Recently I got some cute maternity clothes from Kohl’s. I’m starting to get to the point now where if I buy much more, I will not have time to get much use of them but it is fun wearing them now. We are preparing for our Padre trip and are super excited! 🤗

Almost 30 Weeks!

I just got the Blogger app installed on my phone and hopefully it will help me to post more! I am getting close! Sometimes it feels far to still have 10-11 weeks left but it is actually flying as the summer ALWAYS does! Such a crazy time to have the baby RIGHT when the school year starts. 😮 We are planning to go to Padre Island 🌴 in a couple of weeks! The kids are super excited. As for the pregnancy, they drew blood the other day and had to go to another arm because they didn’t get it. I hate it when that happens but at least they didn’t have to do it again and dig in where they had already been like a few times in the past (not this pregnancy). I passed my glucose test (I always have) but am slightly anemic. I am 10.9 but should be 11.5. Not bad though. In the past I have been much lower and definitely “felt” it. I didn’t feel it this time. The babe is 3 lbs. Here is a pic: 

If the baby is a boy, he will be Augustine Elijah. If the baby is a girl, Willa Noel (asking Derrick about adding Elizabeth too, not because it’s my middle name but I think it’s pretty and a Bible name). The little boys are so cute, often hugging and kissing the baby. Noah is overjoyed that he will be a big brother! I have another dr appointment and then will be down to weekly appointments.
