30 Weeks!

As of Monday, August 11, Stacy will be 30 weeks along! The end is in site! We just got back from a trip to China and are very thankful both the baby and I did well along the way. Unfortunately, Kit got really sick (again) but he was glad to "take one for the team." He was glad it was him and not me. (What a sweet guy huh?) I have felt really great all through the 2nd trimester and even now into my 3rd. The only thing that has ailed me is a muscle spasm in my back that seemed to get worse on the trip, but I feel is getting better now that we've returned home.

On our way back from China, we stayed one night in Bangkok so we could go meet the doctor we plan to deliver with. We really like her (all 4ft 11in of her) and feel like she is on top of everything and is going to take good care of us. We are excited to go down to Bangkok on Sept. 22 to stay until the baby arrives and while we're there we plan on taking a birthing class at the hospital. Hopefully having so much time to read baby books and taking that class while we're there, we'll feel fully prepared (as much as you can be) for the big day. For now, we're enjoying this month and half of the "slow" life here in Chiang Mai by resting lots (getting in as much sleep as possible), working (Stacy is weening out of work), reading baby/birth books, and buying the last minute essentials for this little guy. Here's a picture of the belly at 30 weeks. I don't see how I can possibly stretch anymore, but I guess I will have to!
