8 more days

until the next ultrasound! I am looking forward to seeing her again. Paul hasn't seen her since 20w; he will be able to come to this 30w one. I am hoping that the placenta is no longer on or near the cervix. I had been encouraged that I have felt her move much higher up, but lately it seems like she's been lying parallel to my spine with her feet up high and her head down low. I say that because sometimes I feel movement down low and up high which I assume means I am feeling hands and feet at the same time. Sometimes though she does seem to be lying the other direction as I feel hands and feet simultaneously on each side of my belly. Yesterday she was SUPER active in the morning. She was kicking me almost nonstop during the 2 services when the choir performed the cantata as well as during Sunday School in between. A few times it hurt because she kicked a rib!

Paul is taking his inorganic final exam right now. I gave one exam this afternoon and will give two tomorrow and one on Thursday, and I am still grading the projects from last week. I think as of right now I have 32 done and 36 to go. In light of the grading and how tired I am, I am not going to handbells this evening. The choir cantata went really well; it was a real treat to see my mom out there in the congregation at both services. She left MD at 4:15am in order to come to the first service! I am sure she was very tired when she got home about 13 hours later. It was great to have lunch with her also. :-)
