So here I am at 30 weeks! Only 10 to go (could be more, could be less, but I have a feeling we have a late one on our hands) Not that I am in any hurry for her to be done baking into the perfection that I know she is going to be! She can come when she is ready and when God is ready for this little angel to bless our lives. I will probably be singing a different tune in 8 weeks when I'm a blimp and you need a crane to lift me out of the couch and out of our bed. Luckily I'm not to that point yet and I'm still relatively comfortable most of the time. (minus putting on shoes and socks, that would have been the only nice thing about being preggo in the summer time)
30 week Worries:
1. Will I be able to handle labor and birthing this babe? -yes women have been doing this for a gazillion years and a lot of these women without the resources that I will have available to me, but you who know me know my anxiety towards, iv's, blood drawing, pressure, and any other hospital/medical scenario. Ugggh, adrenaline please kick in!!!
2. Will our dogs adjust well to this little human entering their lives? I'm not too worried most of the time but then other days I just think, their lives are about to change too and the comfortable spoiled world they live in is about to be invaded by a small, smelly, loud, human. Oh dear Lord please save them the first time they bark and wake her up from a nap too, Matt already assures them he will rescue them from whatever shelter their mom sends them too when that happens.
3. Will I be a good mom, I sure hope so! But please people who feel the need to tell me over and over again how much more tired I'm going to be once she gets here and the "it's only going to get worse" phrases and "just waits" thank you but no thank you, I will find out for myself along this journey and if I need specifics I will be sure to ask you!
4. Will I be able to handle sharing her? Right now she is all mine, it's kind of like the two of us have this little secret and every time she kicks me or gets the hiccups and I feel like she shakes my whole body (although I know it's only me who can feel it) I just get a huge smile on my face, Matt catches me giggling every once and a while too. It's like we have our own language. Soon, she will be out for the world to see and hold and I will have to share her. Kind of makes me sad in a way.
30 Week Excitements:
1. Holy Cow in 10 weeks this little girl will be in my arms! Yes my own two arms after carrying her for 9 months and feeling her grow, hiccup, kick, and stretch. I will finally be able to look into her beautiful eyes and hold her until she is 25!
2. I have 2 baby showers coming up, one hosted by my amazing sister and Aunt and the other by my co-workers. I cannot wait to celebrate this time with friends and family. It's kind of the last hoorah before my life is centered around baby girl.
3. Having 3 months off work with her, which I know is not nearly long enough but for now it sound amazing! Not to mention it's going to be during the summer which means pool time and long walks in the SUNSHINE!
4. A COLD DRAFT BEER in T minus 10 weeks :)

I am SO excited for you!! It's like nothing I could've imagined! You will be a wonderful mommy! Try and sleep alot the next 10 weeks...wow...i miss my sleep! :) Love ya!
You look great! And yes, you will be able to handle everything and you'll do great!!
all I have to say is about your worry about being a good mother. You have a wonderful role model and you have lots of support. You will figure it out as you go, there are a million ways to parent and you will find what works for you and Matt. I personally think you will be a wonderful mother, and I'm here to help anytime you want, and I promise I won't give advice unless you ask!
