Here I am at 30 weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 To see the whole set of pregnancy pictures, just click on the photo, and it’ll take ya there.<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wow, I can hardly believe that I’ve made it to 30 weeks already!\u00c2\u00a0 I remember December 1st, and peeing on a stick in the Langly Superstore washroom, and being so excited and surprised and scared and shocked and really quite unbelieveing and just about every other emotion that you can list.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s been such a roller coaster of a journey up until this point, and while I know that we are not at the end yet…..time just seems to be creeping up on me, and I’m so not ready yet.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s not entirely true.\u00c2\u00a0 I was ready to be holding my baby a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago, but I don’t have “things” ready for this baby.\u00c2\u00a0 “Things” like the crib and change table and diaper bag and paint for the room, and cloth diapers and well….most everything!\u00c2\u00a0 I had a melt down on Jon today!\u00c2\u00a0 It kinda feels like he’s not really been supportive of getting ready for this baby.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that he’s not been supportive, ’cause that is so NOT the case…………….BUT, when I’ve asked about buying things or talked about different things that we need to get – he’s not shown me much excitement.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s been very non-commital about it all.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if it has anything to do with his own hurts and fears for the future based on passed events, or if he just doesn’t care about getting it all done “perfectly” or if he’s just been too busy…….or what?<\/p>\n

It’s stressing me out that certain things aren’t done, and tht I really don’t have any clear time line for when they will be done.\u00c2\u00a0 We also went shopping today and I was particularly frustrated that we came home empty handed.<\/p>\n

With Jon working 16 hour days all last week, he told me that we’d take today off, and I had a Doctor’s Appointment this morning, and then we’d go shopping for a crib and dresser\/change table.<\/p>\n

My Doctor’s appointment went so good.\u00c2\u00a0 I was concerned about the Gestational Diabetes, and NO WORRIES!\u00c2\u00a0 I passed the test with amazing numbers, although I don’t know what those numbers were.\u00c2\u00a0 All I know is that he said that everything was fabulous, and I totally didn’t need to worry about gestational diabetes.\u00c2\u00a0 PHEW!\u00c2\u00a0 One less thing to occupy my overloaded brain.\u00c2\u00a0 He had also gotten the results back from the ultrasound that I had on Tuesday, and everything is looking perfect.\u00c2\u00a0 Baby is measuring perfectly on target, and they estimated his weight to be totally average at 3 and half pounds.<\/p>\n

I had only gained 1 pound in the last 5 weeks, which almost makes up for the 12 pounds I did in the month before that.\u00c2\u00a0 I weigh 196 pounds, which to me is unbelievable.\u00c2\u00a0 I weighed well over 200 pounds just starting out the previous 3 pregnancies, and so to be under 200 with 10 weeks left is fabulous.\u00c2\u00a0 With Geli I was 214 pounds when I delivered.\u00c2\u00a0 So, if I am anywhere under that, I am some kinda happy!\u00c2\u00a0 Not that I’m aiming for that number, but around 200 was my goal for the end of this pregnancy.\u00c2\u00a0 Looks like I’m on schedule.\u00c2\u00a0 YAH!<\/p>\n

The heartbeat was 148 bpm, and my blood pressure was 100\/60.\u00c2\u00a0 Baby is still head down.\u00c2\u00a0 The ultrasound tech told us that on Tuesday, and I am so thrilled ’cause for the LOOOOOONGEST time, he was breech, and I was startng to worry that he might get too comfortable in that position, and I really don’t want to have a c-section if I can possibly avoid it.\u00c2\u00a0 The doctor figured that he was down today as well, and that would comfirm the fact that I can feel his little bum just under my right ribcage…….it was either a bum or a head, and I really hoped that I wasn’t poking at his head!<\/em><\/p>\n

I am now into the 2 week appointments, and have to go back on the 15th of June to see him again.\u00c2\u00a0 I have a list of questions, and should probably start writing them down\u00c2\u00a0for that appointment – ya think?\u00c2\u00a0 It’s hard to believe that we’re getting so close. I know I keep saying that, but as much as I hoped, I don’t know that at the beginning that I really believed that I’d be here right now.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

We drove into Baby’s World (just off the Lougheed Hwy – beside the IKEA<\/em>), and looked at the crib set there.\u00c2\u00a0 FREAKING CRAP!\u00c2\u00a0 They were expensive.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been saving up money, but I don’t have that much!\u00c2\u00a0 I do really want to get a matching set for this child.\u00c2\u00a0 So, we are still looking.\u00c2\u00a0 We did find something that we can be happy with at the Bay, but it’s only a crib and change table, there isn’t a matching dresser.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 It’s hard to match up the wood and the style when you buy pieces seperately.\u00c2\u00a0 The sales associate told us that they have sales on the baby furniture every 3 weeks, and so we will keep checking back until that set goes on sale, and if we find a better set in the mean time, then we won’t worry about it.<\/p>\n

Although it was a nice day with Jon, it still felt like a colossal waste of time ’cause we accomplished nothing.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m hoping that we can pick up the paint tomorrow, and get started first thing next week.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m still not sure what I am going to do about the crib bedding.\u00c2\u00a0 I though that I had something picked out, and that Jon liked it, and then he “very non-commitally” changed his mind…………….AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!\u00c2\u00a0 It’s okay!\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll be okay once things start to fall into place, and I’ve told Jon that I want the majority of the “Stuff” finished by July 1st.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t want to be fiddling with the big stuff when the kids are home from school for the holiday’s.\u00c2\u00a0 Fortunately for Jon, school is in until the 28th of June!\u00c2\u00a0 Then I just have to figure out what to do with myself and the kids for the month of July, and then we’re good to go.\u00c2\u00a0 YAH!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Can you tell I’m excited?\u00c2\u00a0 Just a little bit???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
