I know it may be a bit more than 10 weeks to go but it sounds better that way. I can't believe that these 30 weeks have gone by so fast for me. I have to admit though I am not in a rush to get the next 10 done. I really enjoy being pregnant and will definitely do this again. Hopefully the second time around will be just as easy.
I had a bit of a worry at my last appointment though. At 26 weeks I was measuring at just over 24 which my Doctor said is normal. This appointment at just 2 day short of 30 weeks I was only 25. This would make me about 5 weeks behind although with the +or - difference it is only about 3 weeks. I was a bit worried but she told me not to be. She is still moving around lots and her heartbeat is nice and strong at about 136 which is a bit higher than she has been but that isn't a problem. I do get to go for another ultrasound at the end of the month though just to check. I know that she was laying completely sideways though and stretching when she measured cause we could see her. I could actually tell her hand and her feet she was stretching so hard. I am sure that was the only reason I was measuring different. I don't want a huge baby but I would like one around 7lbs so i don't want her to be too small. I have been given permission form my doctor to be a couch potato and eat lots of ice cream and cookies though to put on more weight. She isn't worried with my weight gain or lack there of basically but she said I have full permission to gain more. Even if I were to gain the pound a week that is normal now I would only be at a total gain of 14 pounds from my prepregnancy weight.
At the end of this month I also get to do my labour and delivery class. I can't go to the weekly classes because of both of us working shift work but I do get to go to a one night one at the hospital so that should be interesting and informative. I have to admit I am not scared for the labour part cause I have never been through it and I can't be scared of something that I don't know what it will be like.
We have almost everything we need now for the baby we just need to get the dressers and the crib although we know what we want I just have to wait for the room to be ready to get it. By the end of next week though it should all be done and set up and ready.
I am really looking forward to this summer. It better be a nice one after the winter that we have had with all the snow. I am looking forward to going up to the lake and being able to relax. It won't be the same though cause my uncle won't be there but it is still the lake. I will have a newborn but that is fine I am sure she is going to like the fresh air and I know that we always sleep better in the fresh air.
I will post some more pictures to my facebook later today. I got an idea for one that I haven't done yet and will do that one too.

14 pounds max? I am SO jealous. I gained 40. If it makes you feel better I measured 5 weeks too small at 40 weeks, and the doctor said Alexys was probably actually 3 weeks overdue...which means I was measuring 8 weeks small - and I still had a 7lb. 2 oz. baby!!!! I think those measurements are bogus to be honest - as long as you get the ultrasound and the fluids are good, I think good!!!
