Baby B is 30 weeks!

How fast this pregnancy is going and how impatient I'm becoming! This baby is lying low and I feel it in my pelvis quite often. Since my last appointment, I've noticed I have a faint linea negra. Part of me hopes it's a girl for all the people who claim it's a boy because I'm "all tummy." I still have no feelings one way or another, so maybe baby is going to be a Cabbage Patch Kid : ) So what are the latest happenings? Well, at my last appointment, my Blood Pressure was a low 92/40! I am close to anaemic and I have an extremely high blood platelet count which usually occurs it high altitudes. I've gained about 25 pounds which is actually lower than with Abigail. I've been eating a lot of red meat, bacon, spinach and dried fruits, not because I'm craving them, but to get my iron levels up. Kendra measured me and I was actually right at 29 weeks/cms, and she was feeling the position of the baby and said the head was by my pelvis. Then she said it was by my ribcage. I thought that she meant there were two in there, but she said the baby most likely turned. She said it sounds like the placenta is in the front again and the baby was, at that point, breech. I can't really tell the position of Baby B, but it often feels like it is lying horizontally or head down. It does feel like Baby B wants to come out soon; it is always pushing down and kicking me in the vagina. (At least that's what it feels like). I have a feeling that I am not going to make it to 40 weeks and part of me feels like 38 is even going to be a stretch, but what do I know?
I am extremely tired and it seems like Abigail is sleeping less and less. She uses the toilet on demand quite often, but she could also go days without any interest. I'm not pushing it because she's done a great job of weaning and transitioning into her own bed that I do not want to push too many things. Also, is it something that is learned in 2 months? I don't know. There is an article that says you can do it in 3 days and I believe it. We just haven't had 3 days where we can devote ourselves completely to her and not really leave the house. I'll try when we get a break : ) She is a smart little cookie who uses 2 syllable-words and is starting to undress/dress herself. She makes great faces; especially the "evil eye" which looks more like a stink eye. She shares my love for chocolate and ice cream. One day, Shawn brought some home and when she saw it, she literally screamed with excitement. She still comes into our bed at night and is still very attached to me, but I am cherishing these cuddles and hugs because I am seeing how fast she is growing up. Did I mention she gives the best hugs? She puts her arms around my neck and squeezes! I love it!
