Week 30 :-)



Week 30 finds me and Jett getting bigger and bigger.  I was able to get a great peek at him yesterday at my Specialist appt, he's already measuring at 4lbs!  Looks like I'm going to have another little chunky monkey on my hands :-).  I'm expecting him to be my biggest baby yet, pending he stays nice and nestled in the womb til his arrival date, which is only 59 days away now!  Life is beginning to get a little more uncomfortable symptom wise.  The 30th week brought along with it a feeling of fainting every time I stand, walk, or try to get anything done.  My doc says this is normal and more than likely my blood pressure dropping due to the increased blood volume in late pregnancy.  In that case, there is nothing that can be done, besides me taking it easy and just resting when I feel faint.  She did draw my blood today at my appt. to check my iron levels, to make sure my slight anemia hasn't gotten worse, which could also be a cause of my feeling faint so often.  I'm guessing if that's the case she'll want to prescribe me some extra iron...but we'll see. Baby is looking excellent, thanks be to YHWH!  And my body is doing perfectly with the pregnancy.

Unfortunately, the cyst on my ovary has grown even bigger in an even shorter amount of time, it's gone from 6cm to 10cm in a months time.  Not good.  But, there is nothing that can be done about it at the moment.  My prayer is that Dr. Allison will be able to efficiently remove it during delivery with no further harm being done to my body or ovary.  I'm pretty sure this is what the plan will be, which will be good to go ahead and get it done then while I'm already on the operating table.  I'm giving much praise to my Heavenly Father that I have not had any pain from it, which is very surprising, given it's size.  Only 8 more weeks to go and hopefully it won't get any bigger.  No one is concerned that it will/could cause any harm to the pregnancy or my ovary, that's good.  My doc seems to think it's just being induced by the elevated hormones in my body and still may even go down after pregnancy, but I'd rather not wait and see, I'd rather it just be taken and done with.

My little man has been very active, even hurting me with his strong pushes and rolls, but I still love feeling him move around, it's a comforting/reassuring feeling.  He's still head down and such a doll, looks kinda like my youngest, Jared.  I can't wait to kiss his little lips!
I'm scheduled with the hospital on June 7th at 9am to go in and get all my Registration and Paperwork done for the delivery the following day.  I just know that day will be here before I know it!  I'm enjoying the last moments of this gift called pregnancy.

My shower is only 11 days away now!  Everything is getting accomplished one thing at a time and working out just like I knew it would.  I'm looking forward to seeing my mom next week!  Stay tuned for all the shower details...coming soon!
