30 Weeks Update

Less than 10 weeks to go!  They scheduled all my remaining dr. appts. and it put into perspective how close it is until we meet our little man.  Baby Hags is growing like crazy and as a result, I am getting more uncomfortable by the day.  Interestingly, my new diabetic diet has caused me to lose weight so my belly looks even bigger!  Total weight gained so far...18lbs.  I asked my doctor if she was concerned this week and she told me that as long as I get to 25 lbs everything will be ok.  Although my new diet has affected my weight and mood (I do my best to be nice to people), it has worked out my sugar issues.  My diabetes appears to be under control and hopefully that will prevent Baby Hags from becoming a 10lb baby :)

On Wed., Ryan and I volunteered for the division of GE Healthcare that makes ultrasound units.  They were doing diagnostics on new software and needed a baby to test them on.  The baby was not very cooperative but managed to show his face for a few decent pics.

We also have some good pics of his manhood but have decided not to share those with everyone...we figure we reserve the rights to all future blackmail pictures :)

I was also surprised to learn that Baby Hags is head down...although it now makes sense why I go to the bathroom every hour!  Apparently what I thought was his head is actually his belly.  

Besides baby updates, things are somewhat normal in our lives.  Ryan went to a leadership training program in New York last week.  It was a good experience for him...I however had a hard time with him being gone.  The stress of starting my diet and pricking my finger was more difficult than I had anticipated.  Needless to say, I'm glad he is home and things are back to normal.  We work hard, try to keep up with the housekeeping, and go to the guys weekly softball game.  The real question is, will my softball jersey still fit for the last game?
