30 Weeks Kindof?

Well Tuesday was another doctor's appointment. I had a long list of things to talk to the Dr. about since last time I forgot everything. But first off the Dr. gets a phone call (that he stayed in the room with us on). And even worse its about money or investing. A little weird? But he measured my belly and I'm a little big. The babies heart beat was good and strong yet again. Blake and I have decided to donate our babies cord blood. I am hoping that in the future they will be able to find cures for some diseases with it instead of using stem cells. (That's a personal opinion. I don't agree with stem cell research.) I have been experiencing mild tightening of my stomach. I wanted to make sure that they were Brakstinhicks contractions and nothing to be worried about. He assured me that they are normal and until they start to hurt then I shouldn't worry. I also for the last week and a half have been feeling like I'm losing water. It feels like I'm peeing on myself. Not a lot but enough that I can notice it. He wanted to check with a sonogram if the liquid around the baby was good. So we got a sonogram!!! The nurse this time was SO much better. She had a great personality and was so friendly! We got to see the little face. He/She had its arms crossed in front of its face with its hands resting together by its cheeks. Blake ask for her to check to make sure it had some feet? Last time we weren't able to see them so better safe then sorry! He/She has two feet. They were crossed at the ankle so even she couldn't see what it is. The nurse knew someone had to be tall 'cus it has some long legs. She measured the belly area and all was good. She showed us its two kidneys, the stomach, the liver, and the four chambers of the heart. Everything liked great!! At the end she went up the spin and showed us the spine and ribs then moved to the head. She was like "oh my goodness!" I freaked! "What?" "Your baby has a HEAD OF HAIR!!!" You could see it floating in the liquid and all the fuzz on the screen. How funny is that? It's gunna come out looking like a long, hairy monkey!! So she said that my fluid is good. The baby is weighing in at about 3lbs. 12oz. and is measuring about a week ahead. Oh my God!! A whole WEEK!! No wonder I'm so ENORMOUSLY HUGE!! Well we'll be back in two more weeks to see how much more enormous I get?
