30 weeks

April 6th I had a DR. Appt for my 29 week check up. BABY was doing good, measuring where he should be and his heartbeat strong! I love going to the DR and hearing his heartbeat!! I have only gained 20lbs total and I am happy with myself but I'm glad it's where it is and not sky high. Don't think I don't feed BABY because he gets whatever he and mommy wants. My BP and everything was good as well. I had to give blood work but didn't do the glucose. My Dr. didn't feel I needed too with my weight, family history and everything else so I was glad about that. I am now to count his kicks; he should be atleast 10 times in 2 hours.. and he does! He's my little mover :) We go back for another appt. the 21st - I am now going every 2 weeks until my 36th week and then I will be going every week.

This weekend I will be 31 weeks; wow! In a little over 2 months BABY will be here. I am anxious, nervous, scared, speechless, etc. I can't believe how much this pregnancy has flown by and keeps flying by. I keep saying "I can't wait for him to get here" and I can't but it's hard to believe my first pregnancy, this point in my life will be over soon and my first child will be in the world! It helps me to live the saying "enjoy each day God has blessed you with" because I am truly doing so.

We have set a date for our first shower - May 1st. Having the shower for us will be just another stepping stone that will make this pregnancy feel even more real. We invited all our family and friends and I can't wait to see all of them and talk nothing but BABY :) I am already thankful for what people have given us.

BABY's nursery is final complete, other than book shelves that need to be hung. It looks like a little boy and I am so happy with it.

Oh, and wouldn't it be nice to be able to say his name rather than BABY. Yeah but I'm still not going to tell what we have decided on. If you are a family member or friends odds are you already know - except for the middle name.. we're still debating between 2.

Anyways, just a little update - we are doing just great! Keep us in your prayers that the remaining weeks will be just as good as they have been!
