I'm Back!

I can't really remember the last time I blogged because it's been so long.  I'm back and have so much to catch up on.

I'm just about 30 weeks now!  I'm getting big and very uncomfortable.  I'm trying not to complain and be grateful for this experience, but it's so hard when I'm constantly in pain.  It's painful to walk and my legs and stomach are constantly cramping, not to mention my heartburn and acid reflux have been unbearable.  It's made holiday shopping a lot more difficult, but I'm surviving and so happy that I'm pregnant right now.

On a good note, the pregnancy is going very well.   And I'm not sure if I mentioned we are having a GIRL!  I've had, sorry I've lost exact count, approximately 16 ultrasounds or more.  Our baby girl  is growing appropriately and my cervix is holding up.  At my 29 week ultrasound, she weighed about 2 pounds 7 ounces and is measuring in the 40th percentile.  Pretty good for a bicornuate uterus!  She is breech at this time which is common with my condition, so I'm not too worried about it.  She may or may not flip head down, but she needs to soon if she's going to because she is running out of room.  We attempted a 3d ultrasound last week, but it was a complete fail.  Because of her frank breech position, they weren't able to see her face with her legs were up over her head, plus she had her head right on the placenta.  That was a little disappointing, but the most important thing right now is she is healthy! 

I also had my first baby shower 2 weeks ago!  It was a great time and I got so much stuff for the baby.  It was unbelievable.  Her nursery is almost complete now, before my 32 week target!  I keep having dreams that the baby is coming around 31 or 32 weeks.  Hopefully I'm wrong, but I keep having this feeling that she is coming early.  I had a goal that I wanted everything to be ready at 32 weeks.  I still have a few more things I need, but we are mostly ready :)

Lilly and me at 25 weeks.  Oh my!
