30 Weeks Down, 10 to Go

So I have hit the 30 week mark and it seems like a lot has happened in the past 10 weeks since my last post. First of all, my belly is now feeling huge. Bending over, getting in and out of bed, and just moving around in general are getting to be quite awkward. As you can see in these pictures, Mom has helped me tape up my back and belly to support the extra weight and it is helping so much! Thank goodness for Rock Tape! I still get to the gym several times a week but it is a much slower, less intense work out than I'm used to doing.

Everyone keeps telling me that my belly is so tiny. What I don't understand is where the next 10 weeks of baby is supposed to go. I don't think there's anymore space for little Patrick to keep growing, my belly is already maxed out!




Speaking of growing Patrick, we were able to see him during an ultrasound July 1st. He's growing big and strong (they actually had him measured a week ahead of the expected due date in weight) and he's moving around so much! He gave the ultrasound tech a hard time by flipping over completely several times. We even got to see him blinking his eyes!

Unfortunately, I had to part ways with Happy Dog sooner than I was expecting. It is a very physically demanding job and the owners were no longer willing to accommodate my prego needs. Delmar has helped me realize that it was probably a blessing in disguise to get out of there when I did. So now I'm at home every day getting ready for Patrick's arrival. I was worried about being bored but it's already looking like there is more than enough to keep me busy over the next couple months.

Well, I think that's all for now!

Love,
Sarah
