30 weeks...

seems like such a long time, but it really isn't. I'm now 30 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and starting to experience all kinds of new things. Let's just start with the contractions: I didn't expect them to stop me in my tracks, or start when I was laughing!!

Leg cramps are NO fun, but I can deal with them. What I can't deal with is my legs suddenly giving out underneath me, and having to grab at something to keep from falling right on my belly! Yes, that happened at work one day.... thank God I managed to catch myself, if I didn't catch the coffee pot.

We figured out where all the baby's bits and pieces were last night... Jen could very clearly feel his head, back, butt and legs! It was the strangest thing to pat around his head, because I was suddenly afraid of poking him in the eye! I know, it's pretty much impossible, but still... I was paranoid.

The Christmas (party) season has begun... we've got 4 to go to in the next 2 weeks! 1 of them is my work party, and 1 I'm basically getting dragged to so that Chris and Josh can get completely hammered and still make it home in one piece. Do they really think I WANT to be smelling alcohol all night when I can't even have a sip??!?? Chris and I will be talking about this in the near future, and I'll probably just get so frustrated with him that I just give in... like always.

*sigh* men... can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

  1. Well that is both exciting (feeling all his parts!!) and scary (your legs giving out). When I read that, I remembered that happening to me...just goes to prove the mercy of forgetting things!!
    And hey...being pregnant...well, you ARE the assumed DD!! And you shouldn't be drinking anyway, miss 19 year old!! ;)
    10 weeks left...tick tock...tick tock!!

  2. 60 days and counting... lol. It was pretty exciting to find everything, but now I can't do it anymore! I can tell it's either his head OR his butt... but can't distinguish between the 2 yet. And yeah, almost falling did shake me up for a little while. As for the DD thing, we'd talked about it before and Chris said that he didn't think I'd have very much fun, but that I could come if I wanted. Next thing I know, he's saying I HAVE to come, just to be safe. WTH??!?? What happened to "Sweetie, would you MIND coming to the party just in case anything happens?" ugh... not going to let it ruin my day, though. Party's not until Friday, so plenty of time for a discussion on this one.
