Well, we're 30 weeks along now. At times it seems to go by so fast and at others it tends to drag. Our little man is kicking away and really like to push outward and my belly seems to usually look like he's curled in a ball around my belly button. I have an appointment on Monday for a check-up and I'm hoping I can get them to decide on a date or at least a specific week that they'll do the C-section. They've told me I'll have the C-section at least a week before our due date of 12/19 but then with the gestational diabetes they mentioned possibly 2 weeks early. We'll see! Either way I know it won't be later than 12/12. My sugars have been stable the entire time I'm checking them which I'm thankful for but it's also a bit of a pain to have to remember to check them.
Avi is starting to get excited and now refers to her sibling as a "brother sister" when people ask. She doesn't know how to respond to "what will his name be?" but at least has stopped telling people we're naming him "mommy" or "cabo" which have been said before. :) She has agreed to help me feed him and take him on walks and is excited to have someone sitting in the backseat with her but she says she doesn't want to sing to him or teach him the ABC's...
She is doing so great in her swimming lessons and has finally agreed to wear her goggles. This is especially nice since she loves to search underwater for her sinking rings. She can spend an hour just throwing her rings and then flopping in the water and looking for them. She has started working on floating on her own and does a better job with front float than the back float but I'm sure she'll master both in the next few lessons. We go to the pool at least 3 times a week besides for lessons and she can keep busy for about 2 hours. Makes our days together go much quicker when the weather isn't so nice.
That's about it for now.
