30 weeks!

Yay, we are finally 75% along. It is scary how fast everything seems to be moving, but I am very excited for the next ten weeks, that's for sure.

Having to deal with this heat wave that we had for the past almost two weeks was literally almost unbearable. I never really thought I would have a problem with the heat this summer because of how naturally cold of a person I am. Let me just say... I WAS WRONG. I couldn't handle it. It made me miserable and very grumpy when I really had no reason to be. I give props to the people that had to tolerate me through that. (Sorry, guys!)

We were very lucky, though, to be able to spend the majority of the hot, hot days at the cottage with my aunt and her family. The timing worked out perfectly, I must say. I spent a lot of time in the water, which is nothing less than amazing for my uncomfortable-ness, and it definitely helped with the heat, as well. We are so grateful that they were so willing to let us spend some time there. :)

So yes, as I mentioned in the last post, at 30 weeks we started our bi-weekly baby appointments with Monica and for this particular one, Zack had to work. But since my mom and sister were in town, I thought that it would be a good idea to bring them along. Not only because I hate making that drive on my own, but because I thought that it would be important for them to meet Monica, especially to make them feel as comfortable as possible with this entire process. 

The appointment went great! We had a lot to talk about and everybody seems to be on the same page and comfortable with the birth plans. Now we are just awaiting baby girl's arrival.

We went over my blood work from the previous appointment, and all looked great, which was wonderful to hear! Monica did mention that she wanted me to go somewhere to get a quick untrasound pretty soon, just to verify the baby's positioning. She is positioned awfully weird in there, and in places she is pretty far back. We just want to make sure that all is in order for her arrival! So there should be updates on that soon, as well.
