30 weeks

Well, I am 7 & ½ months pregnant now. I can not tell you how often I have heartburn. It’s not all that bad, it’s just constantly there. It’s very annoying. I even have it after eating breakfast. So, it sticks around pretty much all day. I have a large bottle of Tums on each level of the house. And I picked one up at Target today to put in my purse.

Other than that things have been on the semi-mild side. We had another trip to the hospital on Friday for the same thing as 3 weeks ago, but much milder. All though while there, I had one of the most intense contractions I have had yet. Ouch. That feeling makes me really not look forward to September 30th. But due to this little trip, they put me on extreme bed rest for the weekend. So, I am getting to spend the weekend in bed, on my side. That really limits what you can do when they make you lie on your side.

Anyway, baby is doing really great. Her heartbeat was really strong while we were there. And she was moving and kicking at the monitors. There are days when I say she is holding a party in there. The great thing is that I think she is a sleeper. Either that or I can sleep all night through her movements. I sleep really well through the night, barring 1 or 2 bathroom trips.

This afternoon we went to Tony and Kelly’s baby shower for baby Z2. (Their second daughter is due at the end of August). Her sister came up with the great idea to give them gifts that start with a certain letter. It was fun. We had the letter N. So we gave them:

Nasal Aspirator
Nail clippers
Newborn Diapers
Nuk pacifiers
Nail Polish (for Kelly)
Nose Plugs (for Tony)
Nickels
Nilla Wafers
Nursery Rhymes
A book of Numbers
Nursing pads
Nightgown (for Kinsey)
A Nightlight
Nipple/Bottle Brush

It was fun trying to come up with all those items that start with N! It wasn’t easy either.

Hubby and I only stayed about 2 hours so that I could come home and get back in bed. It’s really boring spending all this time in bed!! But all 3 dogs have enjoyed it, they spend time hanging out with me in bed.

Well, I guess I better go back and lay down again. Here is what she is up to now:
