30 Weeks

We had an appointment with Dr. Washburne this week.  Layla will get a nonstress test every week  and an ultrasound (to check measurements) every third week.  Basically, I laid on a table for 30 minutes with a heart monitor thing attached to my belly.  I'm not sure what exactly they are looking for with this test, but she passed.  Now on to next week.  If the test doesn't go well one time, we will get two a week.  If she falls below the 10th precentile, they are going to take her at 37 weeks.  So really we just take it week by week and pray she is growing.

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  30.5 Weeks

Size of Baby:  Baby Center says she should be 15.7 inches long and weigh almost 3 lbs.  Hopefully, she isn't too far off.

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  15-16 lbs 

Maternity Clothes:  Oh, yes!

Gender:   It's a Girl - Layla Grace Lee!

Movement:  She moves all the time!  That's one of the things I have to monitor so I am thankful she is a busy bee!

Sleep:  I haven't sleep well in weeks.  I'm guessing it's just hormones?  I wake up in the middle of the night pretty much every night.

Cravings/Aversions:  I really just don't like food that much.  I thought pregnancy was a time to enjoy food!  Layla likes honey buns and fruit. :)

Emotions:  I feel emotionally and mentally drained and working my way to physically drained as well.

What I miss:  Good sleep.

Symptoms:  Fatigue, headaches and back pain.

What I'm looking forward to:  Meeting LG, but not for at least 7 more weeks.

After much research (from Robert, of course), Layla has a car seat and stroller! Now, if she just had a nursery.  That is our project for this weekend.  Fingers crossed that her indecisive mom can make that happen.
