I am now officially 30 weeks and counting!! WOO HOO, It is going by so quickly. I am still having some sickness, mostly related to my gall bladder and gall stones. I mostly puke in AM and then I am good rest of day pretty much.

I have gained 3lbs total..lol, I am happy about that since I am not small to begin with. I am feeling the baby kick and roll all the time. March 5th we have a 3D ultrasound for fun and for anatomy because I have been measuring about 4 weeks ahead of the time, the entire time.

I dont feel that big?? I feel smaller with this one then I did with Jacob?? Maybe because I gained about 25lbs with jacob and I have only gained 4..? I cant wait to see how much the baby weighs already.

Jacob is getting very excited and just turned 5. He is a big boy now! He is learning so much day by day and getting ready for his new baby brother!

I hope you are all doing well.

Thanks for letting me share about the pregnancy.

CantWait replied: That's awesome, sounds like things are really progressing well, I can't believe how much time has gone by. I can't wait to hear about your u/s, and see pictures??

Danalana replied: Wow, almost 31 weeks already!! I'm glad everything is going fine, except for morning sickness. Are you going to have that taken care of after the baby comes?

boyohboyohboy replied: yeah kristy! good to hear from you! you are almost done!

jacobsmama replied:
Thanks ladies!

I am back and forth about having my gall bladder out...If I have c/section yes, but as of now I plan natural as I just did for jacob.

They said I can have it out while i'm there but I think that might be a bit much? Newborn, 5 year old at home, delivery, and then gall bladder incisions on top of it? Not sure how I feel about it.

I also dont wanna have to go back later and have it out because then who is gonna watch the baby and if I am breastfeeding it will b e very hard ya know?

So I am weighing both options..

moped replied: Hey Kristi!!!!

How exciting.........I can't wait to see him! I know how you feel about the sickness, I was sick almost hte whole time with both, but you know it is so worth it!!!!!!!!

mckayleesmom replied: Kristy...the gallbladder surgery isn't really painful. Your ribs will feel kind of like you did too many sit ups afterwards.

If I were you I would try to get them to hold off on it for a couple months in order to give you time to stock up on Breast milk if you are breasfeeding. They put me on an antacid medicine and some other stuff that was super no no's with breastfeeding...I had to pump and dump for about a week after I was off them.

I am measuring about 4-5 weeks ahead too (his PA says 4 he says 5 The PA measures from lower) We have our first 3D/4D tomorrow I am so excited but she flipped over a couple of days ago and has stayed head down so I am hoping she is at least face up! Keep us posted on how you are!
