Weekly Wednesday Update

{30 WEEKS}

10 weeks to go! I can hardly believe it. The baby is up to 3 lbs. now and 15.7 inches long. AND I am feeling all 15.7 inches of this little guy! He stretches all the time and kills me. That's pretty much all that has been going on this week. A lot of stretching and pushing and contracting. Nothing too serious just annoying and painful. :) I have gotten a lot bigger these last couple weeks and it's making me nervous. I don't want to end up as big as I was at the end of my last pregnancy but really how do I stop that from happening?! I can't really exercise, If I do pretty much anything I get a contraction. Aren't I supposed to listen to my body and if that happens then aren't I supposed to stop what I am doing?! I REALLY don't want to be as big as a house in the end, and I really don't want to gain any extra weight that I don't need for the baby to still be perfectly healthy but I fear I am on that track! My appetite has increased lately and I know THAT doesn't help matters either! :) oh what to do!? Good thing I have a one year old that keeps me going! It's impossible to not be moving with him around. So that definitely helps. My body has started to really feel the strain, I feel physically exhausted and ache all over when all I have done is been out shopping or on my feet. I'll wake up in the morning feeling like I got hit by a truck as if I had a serious work out the day before! ha ha I am just choking this up to the third trimester symptoms and hoping I can cope for another 10 weeks! :)

All in all things really aren't that bad. This pregnancy has been SO much better then my last, and the fact that I have William to look after has helped me stay a lot more active. Things are going well, and I grateful for how things have progressed. Can't wait to meet this little guy! I am so curious to see what other combination of looks and personality traits Brandon and I can make together! I keep thinking I am going to have another little William, but then at the same time I know that no two kids are going to be the same and this next baby is going to be all his own child. I am just curious to see what that is! :)

{And sorry This day just got away from me! I totally intended to take some pregnancy pictures but here it is 10:30 pm I am SO tired getting ready for bed and the pictures never got taken, in fact I almost forgot to publish this post! oh well.. better late then never. and Maybe I'll do pics tomorrow and call that good?}
