Week 30 Appointment
Yesterday was my week 30 appointment. Now I am officially going every two weeks. :-0 Baby is doing great, his heartbeat was in the 130's and from the measurement the dr. got he grew quite a bit since my last visit. I was wrong in my last post, his heartbeat then was in the 140's at my last visit, just to make the correction. I have been alittle concerned though because things have hit me all of a sudden, like I feel like I can't do things like I used to, I get tired soooo much easier! And the heat has been getting to me making me feel like I'm either going to be sick or pass out. My family and I went to the West Virginia Arts and Crafts Fair in Ripley on Saturday and I was only able to make it about half way through before I started feeling that way and had to leave. It was kind of scary feeling like I was going to pass out in front of all those people. I know I think weird, but that's what I kept thinking, instead I guess I really should've been thinking about the baby's well being. I just really do not like attention drawn to myself, it comes along with my anxiety issues. Anyways, I talked to my dr. about all that also, but she said to just start resting more often, and that the heat can really take a toll on pregnant women. It did make me feel better knowing nothing is really wrong. I just thought that things would gradually progress into being uncomfortable, not come all at once.
Next on my to do list is to find baby a pediatrician. Where to even start? I am also really confused about the whole breastfeeding thing. I'm wondering if I'm going to get everything done and learn what I need to at this point.
Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend!

You're going to do just fine. If I can offer one piece of advice: Make sure Travis knows a lot about breastfeeding, so when you are running on no sleep, the baby's screaming his head off and you're trying to nurse, he will be able to help you. Joe was my best help on the BF front!
Of course, I'm always here and do not mind questions. I promise you can't ask anything that will embarrass me! lol
I know it was so hard for me to stay cool while pg. Keep drinking your water, and try not to stay outside to long. HUGS!
now the uncomfortable stretch in your pregnancy is here. i feel for you. even though i was pregnant in the winter with Haley i still felt like that. Even more so with Alex. just take your doctor's advice and rest. now when it comes to the whole breastfeeding thing do what you are comfortable. unfortuately i couldn't breastfeed my children and they are fine. do what is good for your comfort zone not what others think you should do. If you need any suggestions on a ped let me know i can recommend some good ones...if you want to come to Athens..Haley and Alex's ped is accepting new patients and he's awesome. just call me if you need to talk.. don't be shy!!!!
