30 weeks

This apparently means I have a mere 70 days left until my due date.. It seems like yesterday that I saw the first blue line on the pregnancy test. (Which I thought meant it was negative at the time.. reminder to all of you- CHECK the instructions!!) My belly is expanding by the day and last Thursday I had to wave goodbye to my comfy jeans. I now feel like i have nothing to wear on my bottom half that fits properly or in the way I like but I figure it is only another couple of months before I can wear those jeans again!! ;-) We had another appointment last saturday and the doctor said that Brunhilda is right on track and that he had put on a fair amount of weight since my last appointment. His weight (or lack of it) has been a bit of a concern I think because he has always measured a couple of weeks short of where he should be. They do baby measurements using the circumference of the head, stomach and the length of the thigh and the baby has a small head by Japanese standards and is also quite skinny (not taking after his mother at all! LOL!) so although he measures at a certain weight, the chances are he might be much heavier when he comes out!! He has LONG legs though! This is not really surprising as both Daisuke and I have legs that are way longer than the average in the UK and Japan. On a non-baby related note, the Japanese Proficiency Test results arrived on Monday and despite my belief to the contrary I actually managed to pass!!! I was VERY excited and I think the baby got a bit of a major shock with all the squealing!!!
