30 Weeks


How far along? 30 weeks
How big is the baby?  According to my app, baby is the size of a head of lettuce.  3.2 pounds and approximately 18 inches. I feel like the inches may be accurate or even a little on the high size. The pounds though is definitely low. Considering over 3 weeks ago the baby was 2 pounds 10 ounces, I highly doubt the baby is just barely over 3 now.
Total weight gain: Well, I don't very much like this question anymore.
Maternity clothes? Maternity clothes are amazing. I don't know if I'll ever go back to other clothes...ever.

Stretch marks? Knock on wood, no stretch marks besides the one caused by my scar. I call that winning. 
Sleep: I try really hard to sleep well, but it's not happening. Luckily I am surrounded in a cocoon of pillows. Between my snoogle and the 4 other pillows on my bed, at least I am not at a loss for cushion.
Best moment this week: Booked our newborn photographer this week. I am REALLY looking forward to that photo shoot. I think newborn shoots are absolutely beautiful and I love the end result and I am just so lucky that my husband let me have this unnecessary expense. :) LOVE YOU ERIC!!!
Miss Anything?  I miss walking without getting winded, I miss working out, and I miss seeing my feet. I have no clue what anything below my belly button looks like. And it's Easter weekend, someone needs to help me shave so I can wear a dress.
Movement: Movement makes my day. However, baby HATES my maternity support belt. Anytime I wear it, baby pushes against it over and over and I can tell that it isn't ideal. But I gotta wear it little nugget, mama's quite large and needs the help!
Food cravings: Ice cream... sweetarts have been replaced by ice cream since I cannot eat sweetarts during Lent (gave up candy for Lent)...so now, BLUE BELL SAVES THE DAY!!

Anything making you queasy or sick:  I had a couple random nausea episodes this week, but I am wondering if that was just baby switching positions and pushing against something new.
Labor Signs: No labor signs, but I had ANOTHER dream this week of delivering the baby. This time it didn't tear through my stomach, so that's a good thing. It came out the good old fashioned way, but early...again. 
Symptoms:  Acid reflux, exhaustion, uncomfortable, belly pain, my eyelashes have somehow lost their curl...just straightened out. Very odd.  I get out of breath very easily, just thinking of walking exhausts me. My heat intolerance is even worse than it was before.  Pregnesia has kicked into over drive, somebody should take my license away. Oh, and my clumsiness is worse than a drunk toddler (have you ever seen a drunk toddler, because I haven't but I imagine they are NOT that graceful). I know I am missing some symptoms, but that's ok. You get the main idea - I have every symptom. However, it's so worth it. I am truly enjoying pregnancy even with some of the not so pretty side effects. This is an amazing blessing.
Belly Button in or out?: Still in. I don't understand how this is happening. And no linea negra yet either (knock on wood)
Wedding rings on or off? Still wearing them...somehow. My sausage fingers just have to hold out ten more weeks.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody yet happy. I am SO happy to be pregnant and to be having the baby so soon, but I am definitely moody in other aspects of my life. So walk on eggshells around me...or just bring up the fact that I am pregnant. That will put a smile on my face.
Looking forward to: My baby shower. Found out my date is April 20th! That's coming up SO soon. I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate my little mystery.
Next Appointment: April 5.  This one will just be a regular appointment with a weigh in (booo hisss), HB check, BP check, and tummy measure. Not another sonogram until May 3.
