OMG! Only 10 weeks left?

I've just been counting on my fingers and it appears that I have lost track. If I'm in my 30th week this week, that would meant that I only have 9-10 weeks left! Does that seem possible? Has it already been that long? At least now, people are commenting and openly asking me about my pregnancy instead of just starting at my belly and wondering whether to say something or not.

I have noticed this baby of mine doesn't move much when I'm very tired and only decides to be really active when I have down time and I'm laying down to rest. I find it fascinating and I can't wait to meet him! On the other hand, it's going to be such a big step from being pregnant to being a mother. Not to mention the whole pain of childbirth thing.

I have friends who are pregnant right now and Nicki is almost a week overdue. Luis (her husband) says that she'll be induced next week unless her baby girl decides to make an earlier entrance. Being overdue must be a very excruciating wait. What can one do? At least when my time comes, I'll be able to ask her what she did.

The biggest thing I've noticed this week is that I'm very very VERY tired all day long. Must be a growth spurt time? I physically feel like I'm growing bigger every day. Every morning, I wake up and take a side view and every morning, I feel shocked at my now protruding stomach. To support my suspicions, my co-workers are also commenting how I seem to be growing daily.

Next Friday, Jay and I will be doing another 3D ultrasound so I'll be able to post another picture of our little boy for everyone to see.
