30 Week Update

We're in the 30's! The home stretch! We're also at single digits, with only 9 weeks to go until my scheduled cesarean. It seems so close, and yet so far away at the same time. I think time is flying by though, and I don't know if that worries or scares me, or makes me excited. We'll see how it goes when he gets here I guess!

Had a Dr appointment on Tuesday, everything was as normal as it has been. My bloodwork all came back perfectly normal. So my thyroid is fine, I don't have gestational diabetes, and my blood pressure is perfect. I gained 1lb within the past two weeks, putting my grand total at 9lbs. Maybe I'll make my goal of 15lbs total? I start my twice weekly appointments on the 23rd. Mondays will be the NST and an appointment with my doctor, and Thursdays will be the BPP ultrasound and that's the day that I look forward to! She also said that they'll schedule growth ultrasounds on a 3-4 week basis, which means I could end up with 1 or 2 of those as well.

Remember when I was wondering if he was ever going to get the hiccups? I'm laughing at myself now! He hasn't woken me up in the middle of the night (yet) but he does get them at least 2-3 times a day now! So far today he has had them twice!

I was given the all clear to use whatever my heart desires on my acne, although I'll admit to already using my proactiv a few times. My face isn't cleared up but I'm not sprouting as many new ones a day and it's looking better, which better is fine with me as long as it's not as bad as it was getting! I have good days and bad days as far as being tired goes, today I started the day off really tired so I really needed a nap! My sciatic pain also plays around, today it was bad so I ended up taking tylenol so I could walk! I love going swimming and cooling off in the pool, but it seems to have the opposite effect on my sciatic pain making it worse instead of better. Go figure.

Symptoms - Acne, back/sciatic pain, tired, but otherwise doing much better than I thought giving the heat of the summer.
Food cravings - Still not craving anything! I'm saddened by this! No fun!
Size of baby - He should be 3lbs by now, and around 17ish inches.
