30 Weeks Doc Appointment

It's been about a month and a half since we've gotten to see baby Lincoln, so I was excited to see his little body today! Everything looks great - great heartbeat, lots of movement, and LONG legs! I guess what did I expect w/ a husband who's 6'5''? The funny thing is that I was looking at the monitor and saw the date "10-13-08"...which is 2 weeks before our due date! Doc said that according to the size of Lincoln right now, that's when he would normally be due. But he said that his due date still remains the same...I just could have an 8+ pound baby at this rate! ouch.


But it was all good news today and I have gained a total of 19 pounds with a couple of months left to go!! My hope is to stay around 25 lbs weight gain, but not more than 30...so I think I'm on track for that. Walking at my fast pace is getting a lot harder these days...we went tonight and where i usually go about 4 miles, I was able to go only 2. But that's fine - I have a big baby holding me down! :)


We do have a significant prayer request - the childcare we had lined up doesn't look like it's going to work out like we thought which was very upsetting and highly unfortunate, but I know God will provide. So keep that in your prayers for us and if you know anyone in the area who keeps just a couple of kids or would like to start doing it in January - let me know!!!!

i was told i was having a 9 pound baby, and that she has a large round charlie brown head...all from looks of the ultrasound. they were wrong! Riley was in the 7 pound range, and has a cute little head. They're not always right...so dont depend on their "guessing." Lincoln will be a cute small baby boy...look at his mama! ha.
