30 weeks appointment went good! I was super nervous before the weigh in thinking that I would be given a speech after 3 thanksgivings and eating so many sweets for each of them I thought I'd gain about 6 lbs atleast since my last appt. But, I didn't gain any? Which is weird bc I've been doing great keeping an even weight gain even if it's a little lower than normal. I saw a nurse practitioner and she said I looked small and measured me small so that made my heart drop thinking something was wrong! She had the ultrasound tech scan me to make sure everything was going OK with the lil one and that my fluid wasn't low and everything looked wonderful! She asked if I have been working out/dieting and that answer was a huge NO lol, but she thinks that just carrying around him and these extra lbs. is actually burning calories and I don't really realize it.
Sleeping is becoming more difficult but that's about it on the negative side...well besides my evening cankles :) . I really can't believe that in 3 weeks I should be packing my bags and in 7 weeks he would be considered full-term. He is getting bigger and stronger by the day! I can see huge movements of arms and legs when I lay back. Today during the scan he weighed 3 lbs 10 oz....quite the lil chunker for his gestational age ;). He must like to eat as much as his mommy!
This past week was thanksgiving and to be honest I couldn't be more thankful for my Patrick. I wouldn't be able to get through all this without him. I'm super tired in the morning and he will grab my scrubs, take care of the dogs, get laundry out of dryer, find my keys, start my car, find my id badge which is usually right in front of me. I know he's super stressed about his job, but I couldn't need his help more as I have trouble getting out of bed :). I hear horror stories of husbands freaking out about weight gain and all the changes in pregnancy, and Pat has never made me feel so great about myself. Never once has he made me feel like the fatty that I feel like I am some days when I eat yet another cookie :) .. he texts me checking on jack and his hot momma and makes me feel better than ever. Last night he came home with a bookshelf/toyshelf for the nursery and like 8 outfits for Jack and baby socks :) My favorite thing throughout this pregnancy is seeing what Pat picks out for Jack. It is always the cutest little outfits and I love to hear is reasoning for each item. Jack is going to love is Daddy so much! How will me and the girls even compete :)
