Thoughts:
Being 30 weeks, this last week I have been really starting to get nervous about labor and having 2 kids. I am excited to meet baby b but just worried about how different it will be when we have 2 kids and I am outnumbered during the day. I know Jesus will be with me the whole time. He will be my strength and comfort. I know that things will be different this time. I am going to the chiropractor this time around. My hips feel better and I don't have as much pain. It is nice to know what to expect, for the most part, and be more ready. I have decided that I want to try to go naturally but if I need the drugs, I am going to be open to it. I feel like I have to get everything ready but I am trying to hold off so that I have things to do later and don't get it all done too fast, if you know what I mean. Got a couple new things for baby b. Nice to get a couple new things so baby b doesn't have to use everything that Brandon did. Plus there are cool new things out since Brandon was born. I am so in love with this baby and It is so awesome seeing Brandon want to kiss baby brother. I am trying to spend as much time with Brandon as I can. I leave the cleaning and cuddle with Brandon. I am trying to cherish this time with Brandon being an only child. I know he will do wonderfully but I will have to share my time with 2 kids. Its nice to watch Brandon grow up and see him playing with Ben and run to Ben when he gets home. Sorry lots of thoughts today but I have a lot on my mind today.

Dr Appointment:
Weight gain: +10 lbs pre pregnancy. So excited that I haven't gained so much. Hopefully I won't gain too much at the end.
Blood pressure: 104/58. Lower than normal but still just fine.
Heart rate: 143ish
Measured: 31 cm. Jumped 5 cm in a month. This baby is growing fast.

Passed my 1 hour glucose test! Praise the Lord! Scheduled another ultrasound to check baby b's kidneys. Now we are getting closer and I am going to the ob every 2 weeks for 3 appointments. Then at 36 weeks we move to every one week.
