The Barnes Family

Let's change it up a bit..... SLEEP: up at 1 or 1:30 to use the bathroom (this is like clock work) then again up around 4, maybe 5 sometimes 6 and wide awake! Struggle to go back to sleep. My mind starts turning with the change that is about to take place. MOVEMENT: She moves all the time. Sometimes it feels like she is doing flips and other times just kicking me to let me know she is still there. I really feel her at night when I am laying on my side trying to sleep. I love feeling her move though! Hitting 30 weeks really made me think about things. I have a HUGE list that keeps running through my head and nothing seems to be getting checked off the list, things just keep being added. Hopefully this weekend we can put check marks in some of the boxes. Today was another LONG doctors appointment. Doctor Williams thinks she might be head down now and everything else seems to look good. We also talked about doing another c-section but I really want to see if she will come on her own

My wonderful friend Laura is about four weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy. Last week while talking at our playdate, she told me that when 30 weeks rolled around, that's when it hit her. Her sweet girl would be arriving in a mere 10 weeks or sooner and whatever needed to be done, needed to be DONE! Well, Laura said it would! Today I hit 30 weeks and this morning while getting ready for school I experienced my first contraction that was not a very pleasant experience! The day was followed but just feeling HUGE and thinking of the long to-do list I have created! It has hit me that McKinley will be here soon and we need to get moving!
