Well, here is me at 30 weeks and 6 days. Baby Eby is kicking away and seems more active every day. Especially last night... I guess it is about that time to stop enjoying full restful nights of sleep. Here are some of the things that keep me from getting a lot of good sleep.
- Having to get up and go to the bathroom.
- Having a stuffy nose, which actually is caused by pregnancy also, believe it or not.
- Lying on one side until it starts aching and hurting and having to maneuver myself onto my other side until that side hurts, etc.
- Achiness of legs, ribs, back, etc.
Anyway, I'm just stating the facts as they are. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining. I really don't want it to. I actually think it could be much worse. Plus, when I think of all these things I have to endure, I know that it will all be worth it in the end!
Today we went to the doctor. We got to hear the heartbeat again which is always nice. Plus, the baby was really kicking up a storm so we were entertained by that as I lay there with the heart monitor strapped on my stomach. I don't think the baby enjoyed it so much that there was something strapped on there, pushing in on his space. We went into see the doctor and he wanted to do an ultrasound to measure the baby to see if everything looked normal as far as how much the baby has grown and everything. He measured a few things and said that it all looked good... including the heartbeat. It really was a quick one and when he was finished I asked if he had seen anything as far as what the sex was and he said no. He said once again that it could be a girl just for the fact that it usually is more obvious when it is a boy, but he really didn't know. But so far I don't think anyone has really gotten a good view of anything so I'm not going to expect a girl unless they say otherwise later. I guess we will just have to be surprised later. Maybe even at the birth! Oh well, sorry to disappoint everyone who was wanting to hear. I go in for my next appointment in 3 weeks which is November 30th.

You look so beautiful!!
And you know what? I like your haircut so much that I was encouraged to cut my hair, too. I was a little doubtful if I was "brave" enough to do it, but 2 days ago I did! And everybody says it looks good. And I hope that at least two or three of them didn't lie ;-)
Hey girl. You look great. I was checking on your page to see if you'd found out anything. I guess your baby wants you to be surprised! I remember the aches and pains you're talking about, including the congestion. The day after she was born, it was so nice to start breathing through my nose again. Now much longer, hang in there. :)

you look great april! way to go 30 weeks!
Wow! You are so close! And you are one hot mama!
Cute haircut and you look very cute as a pregnant girl!
you look great! i hear ya about the sleeping. except i don't have a stuff nose.
Look at that belly! I love it! I remember not sleeping well and not being able to breathe through my nose. Hopefully you won't take after me with the swelling of the ankles and the high blood pressure. Put your feet up as often as you can, it really helps. My swelling didn't go down for 2 weeks after Ashlyn was born. Can't wait for that baby. Love you,
Big Sis
Yeah!!! You look so good - you are all baby girlfriend! I can't wait to meet the baby!!
Oh my goodness, I can't believe they still can't tell you if it's a boy or a girl! It would be really frustrating-funny if you don't find out until Eby is actually born. ;o)
You do look very beautiful, April. Although when I showed Ed your picture, he said you had just stuffed something up under your shirt since we last saw you. ;o)
