Woohoo! We've made it to week 30! :) I had my 30 week appointment yesterday (Friday) morning and Dr. Risinger said everything is right on track and she's healthy and perfect so far. I am not even going to say how much I weighed in at because it's just down right embarassing and I'm blaming it on being as puffy as a marshmallow.
Of course my daddy and Jordon had me freaked out earlier this week because they were saying how "big" babies (8+ lbs) run in my dad's side of the family and in Jordon's family. Sorry, but I really don't think I could possibly have enough room for 8+ lbs! Luckily, she said that I have nothing to worry about that if Kirkland were to be a "big" baby she'd be measuring ahead and right now she's measuring at a perfect 30. Plus, she said that during the ultrasound coming up around week 34 she'd be able to tell us an approximate birth weight and if she thought she might be too big then she'd induce me early (thank goodness!). She even said not to worry that they used to let women go 2 or 3 weeks over their due dates, but she wouldn't let me go but a couple of days over before she'd induce me (another thank goodness!).
When Dr. Risinger walked in she asked me how I felt and I pulled my scrub pants up to show her my huge "cankles" and said "disgusting." She laughed, but said that I did need to start relaxing and keep my feet up as much as possible. Good luck with that! Yeah, they're pretty disgusting, but if it's just one little bump in the road to getting the little stinker here then I can deal with it.
