30 weeks

so far so good.

i have been managing to stay fairly active so far. after a little pre-term

labor scare...it didn't last too long...i am trying to keep the lifting to a minimum and

keep chugging away at the water. it's not my favorite, but makes a world of difference

with the braxton-hicks contractions. my sweet tooth is still ever present, unfortunately.

i love and crave a carbonated beverage on daily basis, it's just so satisfying.

my newest must-have..just in time for the holidays...peppermint slow-churned dryers ice cream.

it's like a little bit of christmas in a bowl. riley is still pretty wiggly, and loves to roll. like her sisters,

she gets hiccups a few times throughout the day. for the past several weeks she has remained

in the head-down position with her feet up in my ribs...let's hope she makes that her permanent

spot in the coming weeks. barth and i are hoping to get in a couple hospital tours next month.

it is hard to believe we have about 68 more days till d-day. let the coutdown begin.
