30 Weeks!

For a week I tried to get a decent 30 week preggo picture. After all 30 weeks in kind of a milestone, should be documented, right?! Unfortunately, every picture accentuated my swollen body parts and puffy face so....here's one with a bunch of kids standing in front of me hiding all the fatness. At 30 weeks, Sara and I took the kids ALONE to Disneyland, trying to squeeze in one last day of fun before the spring breakers overtake our favorite place and before we are too huge (almost there), and before we add more kids to our scene. And a scene is exactly what we were. There were lots of stares at are brood and also some out loud laughter from people behind us during the "before dinner" meltdown. But we survived! The kids had fun and that's really all that matters. The exhaustion and swelling will eventually go away.....in about 9 weeks. Okay maybe not the exhaustion.

We had an ultrasound at 30 weeks to check on our baby's heart. He has a calcification by his heart. The doctor assumed it would be gone by now but its not. But its also nothing to even think about because everything else is perfect and couldn't be better. We are definitely grateful that he is healthy and can't believe he will be here so soon. We are not ready! Painting party anyone?

I continue to go to the gym twice a week but yesterday's kickboxing class was HARD! I am hoping I can continue to go to the gym for another 3-4 weeks but yesterday had me questioning that goal.

Despite my commitment to the gym, the scale has assured me that I have exceeded my weight gain goal. All the swelling is not helping those numbers.

Life is getting harder as we enter this last stage of pregnancy but we are super glad this time around has been so smooth. We are on official countdown mode....9 weeks to go, because I am now 31 weeks.
