Pregnancy Update - 30 weeks!

I am 30 weeks along and getting bigger and bigger each day (at least I feel like it!) They said at my last doctors appointment that I was measuring 2 cm above normal but not to worry as this happens with mothers that have multiple children (something about the muscles stretching during my last pregnancy). I have gained 17.5 pounds and will expect to gain about a pound each week till the end. I am starting to get uncomfortable, especially while trying to sleep. I cannot seem to get comfortable at night and just can't turn my brain off. The other night I wasn't able to fall asleep until 2:30AM!! Not good! I suppose this is God's way of preparing me for the middle of the night feedings again, etc. I am also getting lots of heart burn (lots and lots of hair, right?) and backpain (probably from lifting all my precious babes during the day). On the bright side of this pregnancy, I am experiencing lots of movement from this little boy and am excited to meet him! I am also anticipating Jack's reaction to this whole thing. I wonder how he will act after the baby is born? I just hope that he know's he will always be our first born and that we love him no matter what! Ben and I have also talked about names but won't be unveiling it till he's born.
