30 weeks
We are 30 weeks today. It feels like I’ve been pregnant forever, but it also feels like time is going by quickly… if it’s possible to feel both of those at once.
I’ve been having low back pain and period-like cramps, so I called my OB and they had me in for an FFN. It’s a test that gives you a positive or negative result — a positive means you are likely to deliver in the next two weeks and a negative means you are not likely to deliver in the next two weeks.
Mine was negative, so the doctors were pleased with that, but I will go to the hospital tomorrow for some monitoring just in case anything else might be going on to cause the pain (aside from my ginormous stomach and the two rambunctious boys wrestling within it, of course).
Speaking of rambunctious boys, Calista has decided. Baby A is Ace Robert and Baby B is Nate Karsen. I’ve been trying to start using their names instead of “A” and “B” and it’s taking some getting used to!
And speaking of ginormous bellies, here is my 30 week belly shot. Is it a wonder my legs feel like they are going to give out when I stand up these days?? I better not go to the beach, for someone might mistake me for a whale and harpoon my sorry butt!

PS ~ I forgot that I wanted to say thank you to all of the supportive comments that have been posted over the past however long I’ve been blogging (two years??) and especially the comments from my previous post. It really helps me get through on a bad day, and I appreciate it.
