And I've eaten donuts more in the last 2 months than I've eaten in like, two or three years combined, so I'm really going to need to put a check on that. GRANTED - I never eat more than two, so it's not like I'm sitting down to enjoy a dozen to myself or even a half dozen, but I am finding it more and more difficult to fend off the sweets cravings. Yesterday, despite having that free donut from KK (which I didn't even eat; I bought a "hot now" regular donut and ate that instead. I was scared of the icing on the free donut), I went ahead and had my free chicken strips with purchase of a milk shake from Chick-Fil-A. And I was so excited, because I had been wanting to try the new peppermint chocolate milkshake. And then I was so disappointed, because it really tasted "flavored" and not "a flavor," which is very different. But I went ahead and drank HALF OF IT anyway! WHA?? Why didn't I just go, "Yep. Not good" and throw it away? BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT MIGHT TASTE BETTER WITH AGE. I try very hard not to be that way, but sometimes, I'll give a food way more chances than it deserves to prove to me that it tastes good. :-)
ANYWAY - Here is my 30 week picture. I can't believe that in 10 weeks (plus or minus), I'll have a baby. And I am completely and totally horrified of both the process of getting her out of my body and into the world and dealing with her once she's here. *gulp*

Lookin' good. I'm the same about food. Blasen always asks why I eat it if it's not that good. But it's partially my fault, because I hype up food in my mind and then am disappointed when it isn't what I thought it would be like.
I'm always really nervous about the whole birthing process. I was just as scared the second time around and I'd done it before. But when it all starts, for some reason, I'm ultra calm and cool. It's like my body sends out calming hormones and says "you've got a job to do, so pull it together." You'll do fine.
I have issues with cookie dough... all the time, not candy just cookie dough.. By the way your O cookies turned out fabulous. I have no advise to offer you on birthing but good luck ( I realize I'll probably say that again as you get closer, so now it seems silly that I typed it... even worse instead of erasing it, I'm still commenting about it!
Oh! and I think you look amazing at 30 weeks!
I mean, let's be honest..giving birth IS kind of a horrifying process. It's bloody and I still marvel that I can push a baby the size of a good-sized watermelon out of me and I don't um, stay as big as the watermelon. Okay, that was gross. This is definitely an overshare. (But I do wonder about that..) Anyway, our bodies are freaking amazing. They were built to do this, and if you go into it with a good attitude not setting yourself up thinking you're going to just die birthing a baby, you'll do fine.
But - labor is just that, labor. Hard work. Hard work that hurts. Badly. But if you're lucky like Sara and me, you won't have to experience labor for too long. I have been incredibly lucky with my two kids that my labor has lasted less than 7 hours with both. And I can do just about anything for seven hours.
You're gonna do great. You're taking good classes, taking care of yourself (a few KK donuts never hurt you or the baby) and you have a plan, and I think a plan is so important. I want to know all about every little detail (I swear I missed my calling as a L&D nurse), so you best be taking some notes, missy!
<3 Y'all.
mmmm. doughnuts. mmmm. ;-)
I have no comments on the labor part. The only blessing I got from my mom's genes was the short labor. Both mine were only 41/2 hours. Pushing for only 15minutes. As far as all the rest I will save for later. Jack we C-section cause he was breech. You will do great! You are not human if you are not scared! So you're right on track!
I think pregnancy is 9 mo for a reason. Around the middle of the ninth month you go from being "OMG I'm having a baby" to "This better hurry up, I'm sick of being so big" or at least I did and then I wasn't so nervous b/c I was so awfully uncomfortable. you will do fine and you look HOT at 30 weeks :-) I want a donut now....
You'll be surprised how natural and unfreaked out you are as your due date creeps closer. Mainly because YOU WANT THE BABY OUT!!! It gets even MORE uncomfortable and you get even MORE excited to see the sweet little thing that's causing so much trouble still encased in a bubble. Your tummy is cute and it makes me want to be pregnant again!
