30 WEEKS

I just had my 30 week check up on Friday and things seem to be going just OK. I've gain 4lbs in the past 2 weeks (yikes!). It's always hard to see my weight reaching new records, but I'll take control after this little dude comes. The only thing that my doctor is kind of concerned about is that I'm (my uterus) is measuring small. I clearly remember that I was always right on with my other 2 pregnancies. SO, if I'm still measuring under 2cm from where I should be, then I'll have to go get another ultrasound to make sure this baby is getting everything he needs to grow healthy. I got home that day kind of freaking out (I'm sure hormones were helping), and I started looking online and thinking of the worst case scenarios. This brought on all my past miscarriage feelings and insecurities. I really can't help but think that there's still that possibility where I could lose this little guy inside me. This past year has seriously been a roller coaster of emotions. All I can think of doing is to pray and have faith that all will go well and in 9 and a half weeks I'll be able to have this baby boy.

Anyways, on a lighter note, my husband knows that I've been feeling awful, I don't like how fat I've gotten with this pregnancy and that I dread taking these weekly belly photos now because I think I look so CHUBBY! So, my silly Mase ordered some costumes to help make these photos a little more interesting. I love how creative Mase gets and how he loves to do little things to make me happy.

So, the theme of this week is Lady Gaga's "Telephone".

You two are too cool for school! I love these photos! Can't wait to see next week!
We love you and totally get the feelings you're having. Once it happens it kind of takes your innocence. But-- like my doc said "There is no reason to think any differently than that this baby will be perfect..." And after all my worry-- she was. Stay positive! We love you! We'll be praying for you!!

Wow! These are crazy good...you are definitely model material, pregnant or non-pregnant you can just really rock posing and photos! And I do love all the ideas "mr. cameraman" comes up with. What a fun way to keep track of the pregnancy progress. And hormones are just such a crazy ride, they really are! Not to worry about anything...you and baby boy are going to be fabulous, and I know you will get back to your buff and awesome self all in good time. Love you so much!
