A Pregnancy Update

I haven't done a proper pregnancy update in a while so I figured why not!

Yesterday, we hit the 30 week mark! Holy cow, how are we only roughly 10 weeks away from meeting our little girl already?!


I am still feeling pretty good even though I get tired rather quickly. I am still walking/jogging a few days a week and that has been amazing. However, it is ridiculously hot and humid here so I have to limit it to 15-20 minutes. My sleep has been great too, I'm getting anywhere from 8-10 hours every night with one potty break during the night.

Emmy has been moving around like crazy, I feel like she is rehearsing for a Cirque de Soleil show in there. It is pretty cool and a little creepy watching my stomach move.

Kyle and I took the labor and delivery class at the hospital on Wednesday and I'm really glad we did. Obviously, I know the basics of what happens during labor but it was nice to know all the things the hospital does and doesn't do including their admittance procedure (which apparently a patient isn't admitted here until you are 6cm dilated). Next week we have the newborn care class and I know that is the one Kyle is looking forward to the most.

We are anxious to see how much she has changed, we haven't had an ultrasound since 18 weeks so we are doing an elective one next week at 31 weeks.

We are having our maternity photos taken tomorrow and I really really hope the weather cooperates! The forecast is calling for rain but I'm hoping that it's lying just like it does every other day haha.

For the most part everything is going really well! I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy. We are so grateful!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Now 6 wks and such sweetie and up on her hands. These two babies need to meet.....tee hee! We'll be visiting them this weekend and finally get to hold her!!! Prayers for your strength to the end of your pregnancy journey. Thanks for the updates. :-}

  8. So proud that you're still getting out and walking and jogging! I know the motivation to do that is probably getting tough, but it'll make recovery so much easier! You're doing great! <3

  11. So soon! I'm so happy for you. It may seem crazy, but laboring at home for as long as you can is the best. You're in your own space and no one is checking your hoo-haw every 20 minutes. :P

  12. They don't admit until 6cm? Ahh, I went from 5-10 cm in 10 minutes hahaha I would have had the baby on the way! (after taking 37 hours to get from 0-5 cm, lol). I can't believe you only have about 10 weeks to go - time really does fly!

  13. You're doing so amazingly! So exciting it's only 10 weeks away. I'm sure it'll fly by!

  14. Your sleep sounds wonderful! Hope that continues as long as possible. 6 cm sounds so far along, but that is good information to know so you don’t go too early only to be sent home. It will be your time to make that drive and be admitted so soon!! The sneak peaks of the maternity pictures are beautiful!
