30 Weeks

I had my 30 week OB check and an ultrasound on October 21, 2009. All went well. I measured right at 30 cm. My weight was up to 174 lbs and my BP was 100 / 70. My 28 week test came back just fine. My hemoglobin came back at 11.6. At 11.5 the Drs. recommend an iron supplement. My Dr. told me I can take one if I want to. I decided not to because it's kinda tough on the ol' digestive system...

The baby measured at the 54th percentile at 30.4 weeks. He weighed 3 lbs 8 oz and his heart rate was at 163. He was awake during the U/S which was VERY cool!!! I was able to see what the different jabs I feel are, feet or arms. He was head down facing my left side. He was completely curled up in a ball with his feet in his face.

These U/S /pics are not that greatest but here they are...

The baby is looking straight ahead with a left hand over his mouth like he's yawning. His right hand is making a fist above his cheek.

This one is harder to see. I think he is looking straight ahead again with his right hand down near his belly.

This one shows how flexible our boy is!!! His head is to the right. His left leg is straight up with his foot sticking in his face.

I'm feeling tired, nothing new there. Just really dragging!!! I have trouble catching my breath a lot. I'm also having a lot of belly discomfort. The only way I can get it to feel better is to lay down but then my hips start hurting. The baby is moving A LOT!!! I feel him mostly low, like at my belly button level or lower. For a long time all the movement was all on the left side but I felt him move and he started jabbing me on the right side the other day too. There is not a whole lot of movement up high, above my belly button level. He also gets the hiccups at least 2-3 times a day. Must be growing like crazy in there!!!
