Baby Cakes is 30 weeks and 5 days today and appears to be on track for his December 4th due date!\u00a0 A little over nine weeks left to go!<\/p>\n
I was measuring two weeks ahead at my last appointment so the doctor had scheduled an ultrasound during this check-up.\u00a0 Generally, measuring big doesn’t necessarily signify anything (due date could have been wrong or baby is just sitting high), but there was\u00a0a\u00a0slim possibility it could signal something was wrong so I was a little nervous.\u00a0 Fortunately, Baby Cakes is measuring right on target and\u00a0everything appears to be okay (cross fingers, knock on wood).\u00a0 We saw his little\u00a0chest moving as he\u00a0practiced\u00a0“breathing” (a good sign the doctor pointed out) and his little heart\u00a0pumping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back is still hurting and I’ve developed a few other random aches and pains, but overall I’m feeling okay.\u00a0 Baby Cakes has been super active lately and kicks throughout the day.\u00a0 I keep\u00a0reading posts about people\u00a0having still births late in their pregnancy, so every kick is reassuring.\u00a0\u00a0(I really need to stop reading these kinds of things, but as I told T, I feel like if I worry about it, it will be less likely to happen.)\u00a0 I know\u00a0Baby Cakes’\u00a0activity level will likely decrease as he runs out of room to maneuver in the womb, but in the meanwhile, I love feeling (and seeing) him move!\u00a0\u00a0It’s my favorite part\u00a0of being pregnant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
