As for me lately I've been having to arch my back to stretch out my lung area in attempts to get a full breath of air. I feel like someone is sitting on my chest. I knew this was going to happen I just thought it would be a little later on. I've also obtained the pregnant waddle. In a couple weeks I start going to the O.B. twice a week for a non-stress test, and then an ultrasound (repeated until I deliver). I'm excited because JC is taking the day off to come to the ultrasound with me. He's had to work during all my appointments, but one, since we got here so he's excited to go.
Other than Dr. appointments and just waiting out the time, we are so ready for Zachary to come. We have all his clothes, a cradle, dresser/changing table, swing, and car seat. My sweet sister is borrowing us her breast pump which will save us a ton! (Thanks again Jill).
At this point the things I am nervous about are breast feeding and wondering if I will end up having a C-section. I highly doubt it but I know it's happened before. As far as breastfeeding my sister is a lactation consultant back home so I have the luxury of having her at just a phone call away. I went out and got one of those "my breast friend" feeding pillows. I put it on and showed JC how it works. He thought it was kinda cool how it helps support the baby. I just pray that it will be a smooth process. We'll see. Wish us luck!
Here's to making it as close to full term as possible!!

cute cute prego!! Breast feeding was hard for me-- anyone who says its easy and natural lies-- seriously-- hard!! but it was all worth it -- and soo much cheaper than formula-- you'll be great-- just don't be afraid -- or to set in your ways -- to make adjustments to plans you thought you had!
You look sooooo cute! Your hair is getting way long too. I can't believe it's been 30 weeks! I can't wait to see what he looks like! One bit of advice that's always helped me with breast feeding (which I learned in a prenatal class they offer at the hospital, which I highly recommend). The advice was that the baby has the reflex to suck but still needs to be taught how to breastfeed (latching on and all that). I always thought it was a natural thing and that the baby would know what to do and it would be easy but it's a learning process for the both of you. I always keep that in mind in the beginning when we're both trying to figure everything out. It's really helped me.
so cute! I am so excited for you! I hope breast feeding goes smoothly for you! my grandma said it helps to prep before the baby comes so it doesn't hurt so much. if your baby does it right it shouldn't hurt. I pray he will be healthy and not early!
