How far along: 30 and a half weeks!
About the baby: Baby Matthews is the length of a cucumber. He or she weighs about 3 pounds and is packing on the weight each week.
Maternity Clothes?: I actually have just about grown out of my regular shirts but am still able to wear regular clothes just a size or two bigger.
Sleep: Well I have been having crazy dreams lately which wake me up from a dead sleep and then am up for a few hours in the middle of the night. My dream last night was that Gregg nearly missed the delivery and brought my hospital bags full of stained shirts, pants with holes, and no camera!!! After I began yelling at him I was awake from 2 to 4 am. Poor guy, he was just trying, right???
Best Moment of the week: Having Gregg home all weekend. He is back to his busy summer schedule which means we spend very little time together. It was so nice to was up together and enjoy the beautiful weather on the lake all weekend!!
Miss anything?: I miss being able to stretch out on my back!
Movement: Baby Matthews is quite the mover and tumbler. We are now visible able to see the baby moving in my belly, quite alienish looking!
Food cravings: Ice cream and desert
Anything make you sick: Not really
Labor Signs: Not yet
Happy or Moody: I would have to say I am pretty happy. The weather is beautiful and I am feeling overall really good, what is there not to be happy about!?!
Looking forward to: Beginning to work on the nursery. As many of you now we have been on a major house hunt in hopes to be in and settled by the time Baby Matthews arrives. Needless to say we have had no luck. While this was causing me much stress and anxiety I have realized that many people raise children in much smaller spaces then we have and by no means are the children any less loved or happy! So we have put together a plan to convert part of our "lake room" into the nursery. We are hopefully gong to start working on it in the next week or two. While our hope is still to find a house in the very near future, it at least allows me the comfort of knowing that we are getting things in place if Baby M decides to join us sooner than later! I will be sure to share our nursery progress!
A few additional updates:
We have decided on our girls name, Caroline Mae after Grandma Moeller and have also narrowed down our boys choices to three but will wait to determine the name if Baby Matthews is born a boy!
My health overall is very good. I am still seeing my OB bimonthly but my breathing and cardio issues have seemed to stabilize. Because of all the health issues I have had my OB has suggested scheduling a C-Section for deliver. While I have always dreamed of delivering a baby naturally and pulling them up to my chest, I am completely fine and comfortable with another C-Section. She plans to schedule it for late July. I may possibly go into labor on my own sooner but as of now we are excited and planning to meet Baby Matthews in about 8 more weeks!!
