30 Weeks ahhh:)

Ever since I was 8 weeks pregnant I just wanted to be 30 weeks and I'm finally here! The finish line is finally in sight and I'm getting totally anxious. I've been so terrible about shopping for baby stuff, I bought the baby's first outfits today - I still have a gigantic list of all the things baby needs before she arrives, not only that but also all of the things I need to get for myself to help me through recovery, and on top of that Mia's birthday is coming up in just about a month! I can tell our little girl is getting very cramped in there, her movements are still pretty powerful but just not as frequent. I had my doctor's appointment last week and she was able to tell me that the dilation the nurse mentioned was on the outside, not the inside of my cervix she said I really only need to watch out for the contractions since those are a little out of the ordinary. We talked a little bit more about being induced and all that fun messy stuff and it's just great to hear my Dr. initiate those kinds of conversations because I know time is going to just fly by!

This week I decided to take a little vacation away from super hot Arizona and visit my family. Maliah & I are just hanging out and relaxing. I think this week has been much needed I'm looking forward to the lack of responsibility I will need to carry while being here. Maliah has tons of stuff to do and so many people to play with, it's not all on me to make her happy which is great. She's been with her cousin Zayden for most of the day which has been really nice however with Ryan on his way back to Arizona and Maliah out playing I have no idea what to do with myself! I should be looking for baby names and spellings & all that fun stuff but the task just seems so daunting. There are millions of names out there which seems like it would be easy but kids can be so mean and I don't want to set my kid up to be teased because of her name or something so that's something I definitely need to consider. My main issue is that I like cutesy names but then I realize my little girl isn't going to be a baby forever I mean, I would feel terrible if she were to become a business woman or a politician or something and her name is what ruins her chances of doing great things. I read online that some woman will totally skip over a job application if the name sounds too hard to pronounce or if it represents something ghetto. I never thought about those kinds of things when naming Maliah but I think I did a pretty good job with her lol. 69 more days until she's here!! =)
