30 Weeks

 

 



How far along? 30 Weeks

Total weight gain: 26 lbs (but I will get an official number at the Health and Wellness Fair tomorrow!)
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all around...wish it were a bit warmer so I could wear flip flops regularly and maxi skirts...still wearing Rob's t-shirts to bed.
Stretch marks? I hate that I have to say this, but yes.  Early last week I thought "hmm...my veins are really purplish" and then upon further inspection in the mirror yesterday I have determined they are indeed stretch marks.  Boo!  I used Wikipedia to confirm this diagnosis and then called my mom to see if she got them.  She didn't remember...but I'm real disappointed in Dr.Palmers!  I've been using that lotion religiously!!  Everything I read says they will fade, but man am I disappointed.
Sleep: Sleeping okay...lots of bathroom breaks still and rolling from side to side. I ditched the body pillow too.
Best moment this week: There were so many great things that happened this week - lots of nursery work (pom poms and paper lanterns), bookshelves installed, and finalizing some maternity photo details.  But, I have to say the prenatal massage I got on Sunday was AMAZING!  Just what I needed!  Also, I have decided Sunday napping should be mandatory. 
Miss Anything? Sleeping through the night, and not being out of breath.  I've really noticed it this week - I can barely climb two flights of stairs without being breathless. 
Movement: Yes!  I love staring at my stomach and seeing all the little movements that are happening.
Food cravings: Eggs (scrambled and hardboiled), popsicles, strawberries and chocolate milk. I also told Rob that I wished there was a Menchi's frozen yogurt place in our backyard.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm not sick thinking about it, but Rob really wanted to cook up the cheese ravioli we had from Costco and it just did not sound good.  He made it for himself anyway - but I definitely wanted nothing to do with it.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Lots of hip pain recently, heartburn, and it's just becoming harder to move around and get comfortable.
Belly Button in or out? still in but really odd looking.
Wedding rings on or off? wedding ring on and still movable.
Happy or Moody most of the time: so very happy! We are getting so excited to meet our baby boy!
Looking forward to:  not one, but two baby showers this weekend!  It just worked out that one is on Saturday and one is on Sunday!  Both are going to be so much fun!
