30 week appointment

Everything went great at our 30 week Dr's appointment July 5th. Belly is measuring right on track. Blood Pressure was 115/71 which is really good for me. I gained another 4.5lbs so almost 15 lbs total for this pregnancy. It has been slower gaining, but I know Ethan is growing and active and I suppose that's why they say that "every pregnancy is different." So far, no swelling yippee! Dr. Daum couldn't determine Ethan's exact position, but it doesn't seem that he has chosen the head down position just yet. I have begun experiencing some early lactation, which really caught me by surprise, but after chatting with my Dr and a few friends, discovered it was not all that uncommon especially in second/third pregnancies. We now begin 2 wk appointments for the next two appointments and then I will see Dr. Daum weekly until Ethan makes his appearance. I am starting to get very excited and a little anxious thinking about his arrival and determining what I have left to do before he gets here. I think most everything I need to do is the last 3-4 weeks, washing his Nb-3mo clothes, packing my hospital bag, taking down the infant car seat from the attic and washing the fabric.  I think that's it?!?! Oh, and he needs a coming home outfit... I need to work on that!

Prayers are appreciated for continued health for me and Ethan through the next 9 weeks or less. :)
