30 Weeks [Round Two]

30 weeks down, 10 to go! Again, I’m not sure how that is possible.

Here is some evidence of our squirmy baby.
I am surprised that the movement is on the left side in the video
because this baby loves to camp out on the right side constantly.
With the constant movement, it’s hard to tell what position baby G2 is in right now.

I am feeling pretty good, but I am starting to feel the third trimester.
I have been carrying Tums with me everywhere I go to help with the
random spurts of nauseous, upset stomach, and heartburn.
This did not happen until way later last time but my doc is not surprised
because he says it’s normal to feel everything earlier and more severe the second time around.
Great.

Braxton Hicks contractions have been in full force. I have them every day,
sometimes all throughout the day. At one point they actually woke me up while sleeping.
Not exciting.

Also, after I shared my little theory with you last time,
I went in for my 29 week checkup and I’m measuring right at 29 weeks.
Apparently, I had a little bit of a growth spurt before my 27 week appointment
that has evened itself out, so I am not hopeful of the miscalculation of my due date.
I’m also trying to get into the mindset that there is a chance that we
could have a November baby… Only time will tell though!

On to the fun news…
We have decided on names! This is a huge relief because we were struggling
to find a name for a baby girl for weeks and weeks.
We are so excited… I said I want to have a boy and a girl now because I love them both so much.
Not happening though. What will this little baby be?!

Nursery progress is still going very slow. We know what we need to do,
it’s just actually doing it that’s the problem.
I am intentionally leaving things unfinished with the hopes of adding
some gender specific items in the room, so I know it won’t be perfect
before baby G2 gets here, but it’ll be pretty close.

Our other house projects are coming along nicely,
which is giving me more peace of mind. Hopefully, I’ll be sharing them soon!
I still need to make a pretty big to-do list of everything we need
to accomplish over the next 10 weeks. We also have a little girl’s
birthday coming up too that we are getting excited about!
