30 Weeks.

Elliott:

We've made it to 30 weeks! Now we only have 10 weeks (or less) to go.  You are 17 inches long, weighing about 3.1 pounds, making you the size of a butternut squash.  I'm really starting to feel pregnant this week.  My feet have started swelling a little, I get acid reflux after I eat, and the first trimester fatigue has returned.  My belly feels heavy and it's hard to roll over and lift myself out of bed.  But, the end is in sight! I just keep reminding myself how good it will feel to have you in my arms.

Tonight your Daddy returned from 12 nights in Hong Kong for work.  I'm so glad to have him home! He couldn't believe how much you had grown in just a week and a half.  The first thing he did when he saw me was bend down and talk to my belly (I think he missed us both too).

Tomorrow we go visit Dr. Chang.  I'm looking forward to finding out if you are measuring big, because I feel like you are.  Maybe he'll even move your due date up (fingers crossed).  Either way, we'll get to hear your heartbeat, which is always exciting.

We love you more than you can imagine,
Momma
