30 Weeks

Well, today marks 30 weeks into this pregnancy, which means I only have about 10 more to go! It has gone by so fast, but at the same time 10 weeks seems like allot to go. I will get through it. I am feeling allright, but I am dealing with the common discomforts that come with pregnancy. I feel like I am really being stretched, literally, and am sore from time to time. If I am sitting for too long or standing for too long it gets really uncomfortable too. Just aches and pains I guess that come from carring an exta 20 plus pounds around. Sleep is not very fun either, moving from side to side is quite the ordeal and finding the perfect position is challenging. I seem to wake up about every hour, but other then that I can't complain.
Monday morning I woke up at about 4:45 am not feeling very well. I was having bad stomach cramps and kept having to go to the bathroom and was feeling nausous. I never get sick, so this was unusual to me. I tried to lay there for a while, but it was getting worse. I was getting sharp tight pains in my abdomen that was coming in waves, so I start thinking, oh no, am I having contractions? I didn't experience any with Isaac because my water broke and I went straight in for the c-section and during that time never felt any contractions, so I have no idea what they are like. I tried to write it off that maybe I just ate something bad and it was a stomach bug, but after 3-4 hours of this I decided to call my OB. I told them what I was experiencing and they said there was no way of really knowing if I was having contractions unless I came in. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, but at the same time was nervous something could be wrong so I went in. Well, the put me on the moniter for 15-20 min. and thankfully no contractions! I felt a little dumb for coming in, but glad to know everything was ok. I am just worried now, I will not know if I am in labor when it really does happen. I have been reassured by friends that, oh you'll know!!
I am still hoping to try for a VBAC, vaginal birth as long as he is not breech again but it is too early to tell. I am feeling pretty nervous about it, because honestly after having a c-section I kinda know what I am getting into and the other seems so unknown. Andy and I toured the maternity ward last night at the hospital (this is different then where I had Isaac) and they were showing us the labor and delivering rooms and I just couldn't imagine it! I know my God is in control so I am not going to fret! I am so looking forward to having this baby and seeing what he looks like and what we will name him! We have about 3 names picked out, but won't decide until we see him. It is all so exciting and I am so thankful to be blessed to get to go through this again and have another baby brought into our lives.
