Ink watch 2k8: 30 weeks
Just 2 1/2 months (give or take a few days) until our wee friends is here. Picture after the jump.
I’m definitely filling out all over it seems. I had my 30 week appointment today, and it looks like the baby and I had a very busy month. I managed to pack on 6 1/2 pounds in just 4 weeks. I like to think it’s because I’m excellent at growing big babies, and not that it has anything to do with the horrible diet we had during the move.
The appointment went well. My blood pressure is good. I still haven’t gotten the results from my glucose screening, but the doctor doesn’t see anything that looks alarming. During my examination he was able to tell me how the baby is positioned: butt up, head down, feet to my left. He also said he thinks we’ll be getting a “medium-sized” baby, rather than the gargantuan child I keep picturing.
My shower is coming up, and I’m very excited. Unfortunately, I also had a bit of a growth spurt in the chesty region, so the dress I bought for the shower might not work. So I’ll be in a bit of a rush to find something that will look more “dainty” and less “vavavoom.” We’ll see how it goes.
We start childbirth classes on Friday. 6 weeks, every Friday evening from 7 to 9. I’m looking forward to it but I’m also sufficiently freaked out. As I said to Ross tonight over dinner, “So I’m supposed to give birth in 10 weeks. Yeah, I’m not sure that’s going to work.”

I recommend this book. I was totally too lazy to “practice,” but there’s a chapter (12, I think?) that describes what’s happening in labor in a way that is really useful if you’re visualizing. I’ve passed my copy on, but reading it can help even if you’re going to get an epidural as soon as the anesthesiologist passes through the double doors.
i would be scared as shit if i was going to have a kid. not like if i was gonna be a dad. but if i was knocked up and was gonna push that lil knuckle head out of my vagina. i get butterflies just imagining it… and then there’s thinking about me having a vagina and that’s just weird.
this is an adult blog right? i can use the v word?
