30 weeks

It officially feels real...we have set our c-section date.  Benjamin's birthday will be December 10, 2013.  So many emotions - excitement, happiness, uneasiness.  The uneasy is for both the known (surgery) and the unknown (two kids!).  I know we'll be fine though, and we feel extremely fortunate that we've been blessed with these two children.  

At my 30 week appointment, all looked great.  Benjamin's heart beat was strong, I'm measuring right on target and all of my blood work from last appointment was good. Thank the good Lord!  

I have had some strong (what I think to be) Braxton Hicks contractions over the weekend.  A little cramping and some tightening in my abdomen. It's not random or reoccurring...it comes on late in the day, lasts for a bit, but with a little rest, it's gone.  We're just keeping an eye on it and will call the doc this week if things continue. 

My sweet college friends held a wonderful "sprinkle" for Elizabeth and me today to celebrate Benjamin and Elizabeth's little guy on the way, Camden.  We ate lunch at Carrabba's, laughed, caught up and laughed some more.  They completely spoiled our baby boys (and their mamas!) and I am so grateful for each and every single one of them.
