30 Weeks, and 10 more to go!

This 3rd pregnancy has been a lot tougher than the other two. I should not complain too much because I have nothing serious wrong, and I have none of the awful pregnancy symptoms that some people get. Still, for me, it's been the first time that I have "felt" pregnant. I remember when I was pregnant with Adilyn, I ran a couple times a week all the way until I was 8 months pregnant. I couldn't even imagine running at anytime in this pregnancy! I don't know if it's because I am older, because it's my 3rd go round, because I am teaching elementary PE, or because I am taking care of two active little ones. Whatever the reason, I have way more aches and pains than I ever had before. Man, I sound whiny!

A little bit about my Little Bit...this baby moves around at all times of the day. Adilyn was definitely the quietest when she was in the belly. This one shakes and shimmies all day long. Any time I have my arms crossed and resting on my stomach, she kicks and bumps until I move my arms. Maybe it pushes her down too much or something, but it sure bugs the little one! Her heartbeat is very strong, or so the doctors say. She does not get the hiccups as much as I remember the others to have, but when she gets them, they stick around forever! Unborn baby hiccups also make me laugh; they are kind of annoying, but it's so interesting to know that they go through so many of the same things in the womb as they do when they are out.

Adilyn loves to feel my belly and guess what part of the baby is where. She is always so sure that she has the right part! Sometimes she will match her body part up to what she thinks the baby is poking out. The other day she decide that the hard part of my stomach must be the baby's booty, so she put her booty up to my stomach, laughed, and said, "Booty to booty!" :)

10 more weeks to go to meet our newest tiny one, we can't wait!
