30 weeks

I feel like I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. While this pregnancy has FLOWN by, lately I have been feeling like I just may be pregnant forever. With my pregnancy with Brooklynn, I was so nervous about becoming a mother, part of me wanted to be pregnant for forever. This time, however, I know what it takes (although I know having 2 will be much more challenging than 1) to be a mother and darn it, I'm just ready for my little man to be here! We had a 3d ultrasound last week and it was absolutely amazing! This place gets the best ultrasound images I have ever seen! It was so great to be able to put a face with the name (and all the movement) and it made that much more ready to meet him.

I had my 30 week check up today. I have rotated through all of the doctors in the practice and today was back with my doctor. It was great to see her - even though I don't really feel that I know her all that well. I really do like her though, and have even thought how much smoother my first pregnancy may have gone had she been my doctor from the beginning. Everything was good...bp, urine, heartbeat, belly measurement (31) and um...weight. UH I hate that part, but however, it is part of the process. We are still on schedule for a VBAC. We are just keeping our fingers crossed and saying little prayers that my body will go into labor on its own. She will not intervene until 41 weeks. Oh good Lord - I beg of you please let something happen well before then. I just can't even imagine being pregnant for that long! But, I do desperately want the VBAC and will do whatever it takes to get it. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks. Here's what the belly looks like as of today:

Thanks to my sweet husband for taking my direction and snapping these for me. I have already prepared him to do my maternity photos this weekend. :)
