30 weeks 5 days

Today was my last cervix check ultrasound. My cervix is 3.39-4.01cm, which is good. Baby's heartbeat was 139 bpm and he has flipped to head down. The tech said she noticed that my belly has gotten a lot bigger over the past few weeks so she wanted to make sure I don't have too much amniotic fluid. Nope, fluid level is normal. Maybe baby just had a growth spurt or I just look big because of his position. I think he looks a lot like Todd!

I'm feeling pretty good lately, just tired and a little achy in the evenings.  He is kicking up a storm lately.

Coming events:

5/24- Dr. S
5/27- PA baby shower
5/31- Growth scan

I had an appt with Dr. S today. It was pretty routine. They checked my blood pressure and it was normal at 117/76. I haven't gained any weight still. He listened to baby's heartbeat and said it sounded good. He was able to feel baby from the outside and said he's still breech and curled up around my belly button. I told him I've been having trouble sleeping and he suggested that I take benedryl before bed to help with breathing and sleep.

We've been getting out cloth diapers ready for the baby. So far we have about 18 prefold flat diapers, one newborn cover, and 3 size small covers. I have ordered one more NB cover and one more size small. A friend is giving me 9 more prefolds and we registered for a few more. I also bought a few pocket diapers from a friend that we are thinking of using for nighttime.

Upcoming events:

5/17- Cervix check
5/24- Dr.S
5/27- PA baby shower
5/31- Growth scan

We had a growth scan and cervix ultrasound today. My cervix is really long at 5.6cm. The tech was joking that it would take a really long time for him to get out because the birth canal is so long. Ha ha. Baby was measuring right on track and weighs approximately 2lbs 9oz. His heart rate was 125. He is also now breach. I think he turned over the last few days. The tech said she thinks he will probably turn again. He was all curled up with his legs crossed and his arms up by his face. She also confirmed again that he is a boy.
