30 weeks

30 weeks (or really 31 now that I'm finally posting this!)...wow! I can't believe it has gone so fast (up until this point anyways). So far things have gone really well, but now I'm getting incredibly uncomfortable with not being able to sleep and having horrible indigestion. The past week it has not been uncommon for me to fix the boys one dinner/meal and then I just eat oatmeal. Nothing else seems to really have any appeal. Hopefully the baby will drop a bit here soon and give me some relief.
On another note, we had a fetal echo last Friday and the baby's heart looks great! They were able to watch the blood flow and see that there don't seem to be any holes letting blood pass to places it shouldn't. They were also able to tell us that the baby is looking big! The baby is measuring about a week and a half bigger than normal. They didn't indicate whether that could mean an earlier baby or just a big baby. I guess time will tell! I even got to have a couple of 3-D pictures taken. The baby was in an odd position and up against the placenta, so they weren't the best. Here's one decent one though. Still though, we resisted on finding out boy or girl!
Getting bigger!

Jack likes loving on the baby.
