Another Journey...: 30 weeks

Time seems to be flying by. I can't believe it has been 30 weeks already! We went to the doctor on Tuesday (the appointments are now every 2 weeks) and he said everything was looking good. He measured me and said he wasn't sure how she came up with 24 weeks when the nurse measured me at the last visit, when I should have been at 28. He told me that she isn't his normal nurse, nice but obviously measures "different" than he does! The heartbeat sounded good and he looked at the labs from my glucose test (good!) and the measurements from the ultrasound - he said the baby is in the 45-50% in everything and the amniotic fluid measured well! Good to know that everything is good with all the numbers and that this little girl is measuring average and not big!! AJ and Preston came along for this doctor visit and AJ asked Dr. Lehnert if I had given him trouble about getting married this time around...he said "actually she did!" He said he had no plans to be getting married again this year, just as good for him as for us! Preston was born on his wedding day, probably pretty close to the time he was actually getting married!

This little girl moves a lot! People ask me if it is more than Preston moved, and I honestly can't remember if it is or not. She does completely change the shape of my stomach sometimes, especially at night when I am sitting on the couch able to relax. There has been a couple of times when I am pretty sure she has "kicked" one of my patient's arms, during passive range of motion! No one ever says anything though.

I think we have come close to agreeing on a name! We haven't finalized it officially, but this is the closest we have been yet!! You still don't get to know until she arrives though...sorry!

This weekend my mom, Mimi, comes in town. She gets one last visit with just Preston before this little girl arrives. She is very excited, especially since she gets to watch him all on her own on Monday and Tuesday.

Preston still does not have bedroom furniture...The company said it would be 2 more weeks past when they told us it would be in - BOO! So they are giving us free delivery and set-up. Even though he is still just on a mattress on the floor, he is loving his big bed and sleeps wonderfully in it! I'm not sure he gets out of it once he is in it for the night. He even goes and gets in it all on his own and lays down on his pillow!

Easter with Preston was a blast. He loved searching for eggs and kept asking for "more" to find! It was a lot of fun to see his facial expressions when he would find and egg! We got to do several hunts, one Saturday with all the cousins, one at church and then one more at Memaw and Papa Gegg's on Sunday after church. The church egg hunt wasn't very successful as Preston just wasn't fast enough to keep up with the older kids. There was a very nice older boy that came over and gave Preston a couple of his eggs.

Preston continues to love being outside and is becoming more and more curious about everything. Today, he pulled 2 tulips out of the ground from our back flower garden and dumped out some "elmo" tomato plants that AJ had planted in little pots for him and then set outside this morning to get sun. Oops, forgot to pick them up I guess.

Other than that, not too much is going on around here. I hope to get more of the nursery done, so we can get some pictures up. There is still some stuff in there that we need to get out before we can do too much more The weather has been beautiful and we really would like it to stay that way, mostly for Preston's sake since he likes being outside so much.

Have a blessed weekend!
