30 Weeks

Dear Baby D,

Wow, we've reached the big 3-0 milestone! It's hard to believe that in only (approximately) 10 weeks we'll finally get to meet you! This past week I think you've gone on a little growth spurt...causing Mommy to be constantly hungry! For example, one day by 1:30pm, I had eaten a piece of toast, 2 waffles with strawberries, rice cakes, an apple, a Lean Cuisine pizza, and a pretty good sized salad! Another morning I made french toast for Daddy and I and ate 3 pieces plus apple slices and didn't even feel close to full as I left the house for work! (Admittedly, I stopped and picked up a smoothie on the way to work.)

Daddy has been able to feel you (and see you) moving around a lot more lately. He even felt when you had the hiccups this week (which I've noticed you get about once a day). Mommy is starting to feel some of the tiredness that hits in the third trimester which I know is nothing compared to what I'll experience in about 10 weeks! I have lots of extremely vivid and random dreams every night, which I've read is due to me not sleeping deeply coupled with my subconscious being just as anxious as my waking mind!

This weekend Daddy replaced all of the old two-pronged electric outlets in your room with three-pronged safety outlets, replaced the old vent covers, and put in a dimmer switch for the overhead light/ceiling fan. (Might I add, all of this was accomplished with zero casualties, as well!) Slowly but surely, we are preparing for your much-anticipated arrival!

Love Always,
Mommy
