OK, so it's not a big fetal development milestone, but hitting 30 weeks sure feels good. We still don't want to see them for at least six more, but that's ONLY SIX MORE WEEKS! Can you believe it? Sometimes that feels like an eternity and sometimes that feels like it's right around the corner.
This week has been much harder on my body. Jono has a cold and wants to be held all the time. I really feel his 20 pounds these days on top of the extra weight I'm already carrying. We have called in the cavalry, though. Our church's women's director and children's director collaborated on an email to lots of families to see if some nice folks want to start taking Jono for some playdates between his naps a couple days a week so that I have more chances to rest while David is at work. If you're in Sugar Land and do not go to Crossbridge (or do and didn't get the email) and want to help, let us know! It's humbling to ask for assistance, and I can get pretty down in the dumps feeling like a bad mom for not being able to keep up with the energy level and activity requirements of my 10 month old, but such is life right now. As Katy reminded me last night, in the grand scheme of things, this will all be over very, very soon.

30 weeks.... :)
I'm so thankful that thoughtful friends are filling in the gap.
Mom
Pregnancy does seem to last a LONG LONG time! I was ready to punch people that would say things like "you're in the home stretch now"... as if the last trimester is a relaxing time! I'll pray you get lots of help as u prepare for the big day (incl. my help once boyo is well)
