30 week Appt

Technically my 30-week appointment was at 29 1/2 weeks, but I was close enough. :)  I got my registration package for the hospital, so I have a bunch of paperwork to fill out and send in.  Fun!  I almost can't believe that we have made it this far!  I was so worried in the beginning that I would never make it to the point where I received all the "labor" information.  Now I have the after-hours number to call and know when to call, etc.  It is just so amazing to me.  This little boy really is going to be born...he has an over 90% chance of survival and his odds of disabilities is going down with each passing day.

He has been a big mover lately.  In fact, a lot of people at work have either felt or seen him move.  He doesn't kick nearly as much as he shifts, which can be uncomfortable for me.  He really likes to push what I think is his butt up against my belly.  I usually just give him a little rub or a push back and he relaxes a bit.  I love feeling him, but sometimes it would be nice if he didn't push on my bladder or push too hard against my belly. 

Today he has been a lot calmer than the last couple of weeks.  I know he is fine, but I'm such a worry-wort when I don't feel him all the time.  Plus, Matt just headed off to Florida for a few days and I am home alone.  When Matt is gone I tend to be even more of a worrier.  I try not to because if I freak out enough I will call Matt and then he freaks out.  He is already afraid that I am going to do something stupid and end up hurting myself and the baby.  I promise I won't do anything on purpose, but I do sometimes do stupid things.

Squiggle and I are doing fine so far without Matt.  Granted he only left yesterday morning, but we made it through the weekend!  I did a bunch of sewing and am getting ready to close down my little sweatshop.  Matt says it is about time because I am getting too big and need to slow down.  I agree, but I still have a few things to do.  A few more blankets, a couple of blankets, and a couple of clothing items and I am done for now.  This baby is going to be well dressed with adorable diapers and stay very warm after he is born. :)
