Eek! Am I really already 30 weeks pregnant? I feel like time literally could not go any faster than it is. There is still so much to do in these last 10 weeks, but we're making good progress.
Physically:
I'm feeling pretty good overall. Physically the only real complaint I
have is a wicked case of heartburn. Its like nothing can even touch
it. I've also noticed a few times that when I overdo it or don't drink
enough water I have somewhat painful contractions. They usually go away
after laying down and drinking more water, which makes me less worried
about it.
I had my glucose screening and iron test the week before Christmas and passed the glucose with flying colors. My iron was another story, however. I tested lower than my midwife would have liked, so now I'm on a supplement to try and bring my levels up. This deficiency definitely explains why I was so tired before, and I've been enjoying the extra energy!
Mentally:
Feeling much more ready to add another member to our family. I think this may be because its finally 2013, the holidays are over and I can focus on all things baby now. It also helps that we decided on a first name for this sweet girl. Sorry, we're not going to share until she arrives! ;)
Preparedness:
The only thing we're really still lacking is clothing, as we ordered the newborn cloth diaper rental and video baby monitor last week. We also stopped at Ikea and bought a dresser/changing table for the nursery. I have plans to go through all my one-size diapers and get them organized and arranged so they are ready when baby gets big enough to wear them.
What I'm Looking Forward To:
I'm feeling a little anxious about having two kids, so I would say that I'm looking forward to her arrival so that I can jump right into being a mom of two kids! A friend of mine is also throwing a little shower for me, and I'm looking forward to that as well.
We didn’t know how good we had it.
