30 Weeks

Well, I'm trying to get back into the world of blogging. I tend to either write a ton of new posts or slack for weeks at a time. This post is dedicated for our sweet baby girl who should be in our arms in the next 10 weeks or so. I feel confident it's a girl being I've been told that it is for the last 3 ultrasounds :) I guess you never know though, huh! I just passed 30 weeks on Tuesday and boy it sure has flown by. I have a feeling the last 10 weeks might feel like 100, but I just look at it as ample time to be with Grayson and enjoy the little time I have left with him as my only child.

This little girl is looking great! Measuring right on, which is such a huge praise for us. We were hopeful to not have another IUGR baby and it looks like the only thing she might be is GIANT :) Last week she gave us a bit of a worry when her movements had slowed quite a bit. My Dr. wanted to do a nonstress test so I went in for that. Her tracing showed just like G always had...no accelerations so I went over to the hosptial for a biophysical profile and she was fine. She was so cute during the ultrasound, waving her hands and opening and closing her mouth. I had another appointment yesterday and we did a growth profile and she's right on track. We were 30 and 1 yesterday and she was measuring 30 and 4. My TSH is supressed and I'm a wee bit anemic (speaking of, where are my chocolate covered raisins?) but my labs are looking great other than that. She is face down but breech, as was Grayson at this point so hopefully she'll start moving towards the correct positioning soon :) As long as she's head down, face down by the end I'll be a happy camper. She was transverse and face up the week before, so she is moving around, maybe she's just taking the scenic route :) I go in to the Dr. every two weeks now and soon it will be every week. So exciting to realize we're going to have her in our arms in just a matter of weeks.

I've been getting really...adjusted, lately. Let me explain. I've always been excited for our daughter but this pregnancy has truly been the complete opposite of G's. From getting pregnant right away with no intervention to having things go smoothly throughout, it's been easy to just kind of float through it. Plus, my days tend to revolve around Grayson and the kiddos, so there hasn't been all the dwelling like I did with G. Which is great! The flip side is your pregnancy doesn't really seem to be the focus anymore, which was hard to not feel guilty about. After our little scare last week and seeing her truly acting as a little person in there, I am so ready to meet her and be a family of FOUR! Plus, we're making progress in her soon to be nursery and things are coming together getting ready for her arrival. It feels good. Now if only I could think of a middle name for her...
