First of all, I cannot even believe I am at 30 weeks.  I never thought I would make it this far.  We went over my 28 week u/s and at that u/s Emma weighed 3 lb 11oz and was measuring in the 97th percentile.  Holy big baby! However, I am 5' 11" and dh is 6' 2" and my dad is 6' 4" so I think she is going to be long too, which the midwife confirmed when she measured my belly.  The only thing I am worried about is her hb is usually around 150 and today it was 130.  The midwife was not concerned and I know anywhere from 120-160 is normal, but still made me concerned.  Just reassure me it is normal! Thanks!

Its totally normal.  It does slow down a bit as they get bigger, so just look at it as a sign that your girl is getting bigger and bigger!

Yeah, I think the h/r just varies... at one NST Leo was mostly in the 120s, which is the lowest he'd ever been. Then last week, his h/r went from 130-160 off and on during the 20 min NST period. Bizarre. But apparently normal....??!!

Congrats on being 30 weeks!!

Accelerations and deccelerations are very normal. In fact, you want to see a pattern like that. At one of my appointments babies HR was high so they sent me to L&D. It turns out they just heard it during an acceleration period. Completely normal.
