I went to the doctor yesterday. I'm officially 30 weeks along. So my body has this way of not really showing for several weeks, then suddenly, I mean SUDDENLY showing a large pregnant belly, and gaining weight like CRAZY! It's pretty depressing when you go to the doctor and she looks at your chart and says, "Is this weight reading right? You really gained that much last month?" I didn't really pay attention to the scale, but figured it was right. I pretty much make the same food choices I always have, but do eat larger portions. I don't know...I just don't feel like I should let myself be hungry either. Oh well, I did the exact same thing with Cameron. So I guess I won't fret too much.
A month ago, our little guy grew 5 weeks worth in 4 weeks. So I have been measuring 4 weeks ahead for 2 months now. Maybe he's just having a major growth spurt. I don't really have pictures of my pregnant belly, but here's a shot from Labor Day when I was 21 weeks along. Then below are some odd shots of my belly (the way I am bending over does make it look huge!) just 6 short weeks later at a Halloween Party.
Other exciting, well maybe stressful news...since I had Cameron so early my doctor said we'll celebrate if I make it to 37 weeks. So she got out her little chart to see when that is, and it is December 22!!! I really do not want to be in the hospital for Christmas. Everybody keep your fingers crossed that I have him later than that!
**Cameron normally loves pinatas. He was extremely grumpy in these pictures.
We went to Gardner's Village over UEA. It was a lot of fun. Cameron loved all the decorations and witches walking around. His excitement makes the holidays so much more fun. We then HAD to go in the petting zoo, which consisted of very few animals--kind of disappointing, and then had a pony ride. Cameron loved the pony ride and was really quite patient waiting for his turn for about 45 MINUTES! Wes could not believe we waited in line to ride a pony when we have at least 5 horses he could ride at home. Oh well. He loved it. He's definitely an animal lover. I wonder where he got that from??? :)
