Tomorrow I will be 30 weeks along, which means Baby K will make his or her way into this world very very soon. Today I went to the doctor and everything looked great. Baby K is a bit on the "chubby" side and is measuring a week bigger, but the doctor said this is nothing to worry about and the measurements were compared to Japanese babies so it really is no big deal. I always heard the bigger the baby the better the sleeper so...
It was a fun ultrasound today as the baby was really active. As I waited on the doctor to finish up with the previous patient, the mid-wife went ahead and started the ultrasound so it was extra long. Baby K was scratching his or her head and then started to pump his or her fist. I guess he or she is preparing to battle big sister. The mid-wife asked me if I wanted to know the sex of the baby. I was oh so tempted but declined! I go back and forth - some days I think it is a boy and other days I think it is a girl. Time will tell very soon. I had a horrible leg cramp last night, around 5AM. It started in my hip and went clear down my leg. I jumped out of bed and it brought me to tears. I have had more leg cramps this time around. The doctor gave me some calcium supplements today so hopefully that will help. I think Kan is a bit tired of his middle of the night wake up calls every other day. However, I told him it is good preparation for when the baby comes and at least it is not HIS leg in pain. Other than the leg cramps, no major complaints.
I have posted a baby bump picture and a few cute pics of Miyako we took yesterday. Her babysitter gave her a backpack for her baby doll for Christmas and she loves carrying her baby around the apartment. She also took the baby on a ride on the Sit and Spin from Uncle Tom, Aunt Kim, and all of her Arkansas cousins.

You look great! I can't believe you think you are big! My leg cramps with #2 were horrible, much worse than with #1. I'd just get up and walk around, drink some water, and try to sleep again.
Hey Shari, you look great! Miyako is getting so big. She's going to love being a big sis! You know, I seemed to have more of those leg cramps with each pregnancy. I found that drinking LOTS of water helped and eating bananas (for potassium) helped some as well. You'll be holding a sweet baby before you know it.
