Thirty Weeks!

Thirty Weesk...
That’s like standing on third base just waitin’ for that line drive hit to head home. Weeeee!
I officially have a complaint this week. I’m NOT a fan of all these bathroom breaks. Oh my goodness this is out of control, and it’s only going to get worse...huht? I’ve always been a big water drinker, averaging about a gallon (four Nalgene bottles) a day. In the last few weeks I’ve experienced a jump in my H2O appetite, some times drinking five Nalgenes (160oz) before 4pm. I’ve been half temped to keep a score sheet by my desk at work and in the bathroom at home and watch my stats. Last night I swear I was up six times in the middle of the night. As it’s becoming increasingly harder and harder to pole vault myself out of bed I’m almost dreading bed time. But on a positive note! With the exception of getting up every hour, I have found it easier to get comfortable and enjoying a more restful sleep.
Tomorrow is my first family baby shower! I am soo soo excited for the fun! And excited to show Mom and Laura the lil’ guys nursery for the first time. Mom flew in from AZ for the shower ( just for the weekend) and Jack will be on an overnight hunting trip so I’ll need help carrying the new goodies in and up the stairs. On tonight’s agenda - finish up the last few ‘Thank You favors’ and clean out the lil’ one’s closet (it’s still housing our misc. ‘junk’).
This week according to FitPregancy - You baby's length is about 16 inches—about as long as a laptop computer—and he measures almost 11 inches from crown to rump. He weighs approximately 2 1/2 to 3 pounds. From now until delivery, every baby will gain weight at a more individual rate. Your baby has doubled in height over the past six weeks, and from now until delivery, he'll gain only a few more inches in length. Don't worry if he's in a strange position (what your care provider might call a "transverse lie"). There's still plenty of time for him to get settled into the head-down (cephalic) position for birth. He's floating in about 1 1/2 pints of amniotic fluid and has some room to move. Your baby's most important organ, her brain, continues to develop at a rapid pace. His eyes are able to track light, and some researchers have theorized that exposing your belly to light may stimulate development. Try moving the beam of a flashlight slowly over your belly in a dim room, and see if he reacts.
