Today marks another landmark, 30 weeks!!! Only 10 more to go if I end up going full term, which is 40- yes you are pregnant for about 10 months, ugh! Thing is they tell women 9 months because if you told them 10 they wouldn’t get pregnant in the first place! I went in for a checkup and she said my weight is fine, babys heartrate was strong and healthy and I am measuring right at 30 weeks. I feel much better today than I had, in terms of my pregnancy, the past few days. I had swollen ankles (aka CANKLES…the term stems from where there is no beginning to the calf or end to your ankle). I have however, come down with a cold and had to get the flu shot today ontop of it. I have never had the flu shot in my life but because I am carrying another life, it means I must protect him from the bad viruses…so I have a sore arm now as well.
Here is a picture of me after my AM workout yesterday. I had a 25 minute date with the Elliptical Machine. I hate it, but it beats not getting any exercise.

Rhys put together our bassinet for the baby last night and then proceeded to put Guinness in it, LOL. It is on video on his twitter page, www.twitter.com/rhysjlloyd He is still the baby for a few more weeks
Today we went out to run some errands and Rhys had the baby shopping hat on and bought our lil one a Nike onesie, hat and socks as well as a blanket that has guitars on it and says ROCKSTAR. Got some great deals at the Burlington Coat Factory….I love that place. There and Marshalls have some amazing deals!
Well I did promise to post some photos from the 4d Ultrasound, but I don’t have a scanner so these are taken from my phone. We will see if you can tell who he looks like…

Well I think he has mommy’s lips and cheeks but definitely right now looks more like his daddy. He looks like Rhys so much on the right when Rhys sleeps, so cute! I cannot wait to meet him. We are so excited!!!
I will try and update every week or every other week until the baby comes and try to post pictures once the lil guy is here.
