Only 10 weeks to go, oh my!

Hailey is doing wonderful. She is 30 weeks now and growing! She moves A LOT! Most of the time it's not just one one spot either but you can see my whole stomach move. The movements are a lot stronger, sometimes uncomfortable when she is trying to poke through my skin! I had a different doctor on Friday. She said Hailey will start doing literal dives and it will make me go "Oh!" and put a lot of pressure on my back and pelvis. More than I feel now?! It's the worst at the end of a long day or in the middle of the night as I flip flop all the time.


I went to the store today to get some things to decorate her nursery. We got letters to put on the wall spelling Hailey's name and I got some stuff to print out a poem and picture frame it for her. We call it the "nursery" but 1/3 of the room is computer/guitar/music/books. It will work for the time being. Babies don't need that much room. We got the glider rocking chair and Pedro (the most beautiful siamese cat, he should be a model!) has claimed it as his post. He is there all the time!


The reality of giving birth is really setting in.... oh my! It's time to start preparations... mental, birth plan, things to help ease the pain, pre-labor exercises (there are some weird ones out there). At this point I totally don't feel ready for labor but it's just one of those things that happen whether I'm ready or not! This lady told me tonight at Target that I shouldn't vaccum because it stimulates labor. Hmmm.... don't know if that's just one of those wives tales. There are so many of those. Maybe once Aug. 12th hits or so I will just vaccum all the time!! Come Aug. 17th (my due date) it's caster oil all the way! I've heard it works.


This video is definitely NOT how I want the birth to go but it's pretty funny. Basically makes fun of what they do in the hospitals.
