I am 30 weeks today!! This makes me oh so happy. I have been waiting to be 30 weeks! This means I have less than 10 weeks left, single digit weeks sounds oh so nice. Aiden could come as soon as 6 weeks from now or take as long as 10 more weeks but either way we are getting towards the end when I get to hold my sweet baby! I am very ready. He is getting so big, he now shifts my entire stomach with him when he moves which is cool and freaky to watch at the same time. It's kind of strange that for so long ben and I waited for ben to be able to feel the kicking with his hand and now you can just watch him move without ever having to touch my tummy. The downside of his getting bigger is that he has started kicking me in the ribs and knocking my air out which is somewhat painful, and then at other times I am convinced he is using my bladder as a squeeze toy. The not as exciting part of getting towards the end is that my nausea has come back. I haven't felt nauseas since really my first trimester and the past few days it has been back, my doctor warned me this might happen but I was thinking I still had a few more weeks. Oh well. Also it is getting harder and harder to sleep through the night because Aiden wakes me up every hour or two. It sounds like I am complaining but I'm really not. I learned at my childbirth class (from the other mommies to be) that I have had it very lucky throughtout my pregnancy and I know that. I have sailed through with hardly any sickness and there has never been a problem with Aiden so I am very grateful for that, I am just letting everyone know what's going on as of now.
I am so very excited to be in the 30 week category...all through my pregnancy I have kind of broke things up so I had different milestones to look forward to...like the first sonogram, first kick, when we found out he was a boy, 2nd sonogram, and 30 weeks...now I have no more sonograms (God willing he keeps doing well), I have no more blood to be tested, actually no more tests of any kind. I just have growing and waiting for him to get here to do. His room is ready, all his clothes, blankets, sheets, washcloths, everything is washed and put away. So all in all we are ready when he is and that makes me very happy. My next milestone to look forward to is getting to hold my son, and see what he looks like, and bringing him home from the hospital!!! YAY 30 weeks!!!!
Charley Ray is our newest blessing! He was anxious to be a part of our family and surprised us all when he came 5 weeks early. He is sweet as pie and he is very loved!
Hallie is our little princess. She is a blessing and a joy to this family. She steals our hearts with her cuddles and her smiles every day!
Aiden is 4 years old and he challenges and entertains us every single day. He is the most tender hearted, sweet, imaginative, and entertaining child ever. We are blessed to be his parents.
We have been married since June of 2006. We are partners in all things and there is no one else I would rather be spending this chaotic, crazy, amazing life with!

That is awesome Jen.. I am so excited! I think Aiden is going to be such a light in the world for all of us..
I want video of your tummy moving.
We may not see you again until after he has vacated the premises!
love you bunches! Can't wait to smell little Aiden.
there is no way to describe how it feels to finally get to count the toes and fingers, hear him cry, the overwhelming love you and Ben will experience when you get to hold Aiden. He is so blessed to have the both of you!!
Sorry you are nauseous--glad Aiden is already making his presance known.
See you in March.
Love , Mamaw
O.K...with the funny looking tummy moves, have you put a drink or small plate on your tummy while you're lying down to watch it move...or totally jump off?? That's wild when that happens. Has he had the hiccups?? Brandi and Blake had them like crazy towards the end. And the bladder-toy...just be careful when you sneeze!! :) miss you!
Love, Sherry
haha no I have not tried the plate thing and yes he has hiccups all the time!!In fact I asked my doctor about that this last time, because one girl in our childbirth class said her daughter had only had hiccups like 3 times. Aiden usually has them about 3 times a day. No worries though, it's normal to have them often and it's good practice for his breathing so yay.
