30 Weeks - 10 to go!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 30 weeks...10 Weeks to go or 70 more days until the due date. I am feeling ready.
Total Weight Gain: I have no interest in knowing... I will weigh in before I go in to have the baby.
Maternity Clothes: I need a few things as I have a few little events coming up in the next few weeks. One being tomorrow. Brad is taking me somewhere and he won't tell me where, so I am going to get a new cute outfit for tomorrow.
Best Moment of the Week: There were no real significant moments this week.
Gender: Its a BOY!
What is going on with the Baby: Right now my uterus is moving up and shifting all my other organs out of the way. This is why my stomach feels to full all the time and why now when I eat, I fill up pretty quickly. This also explains why I get out of breath so easily as my lungs are being pressed on. The baby is growing and the brain is developing faster than ever. The baby is making faces, hiccupping, swallowing, breathing, and pedaling with his little hands and feet.
Baby is size of: a head of cabbage- 3 lbs and 15.7 inches long.
Movement: Ahhh yes... movement. I have finally figured out that what I was thinking were little feet are probably the baby's knees and he keeps them tucked in or near my bellybutton. I can always find the knee and that is about it. The baby has decided that my ovary is really fun to kick or hit (whichever it is) it is pretty painful when he does it and it is always my left ovary. He moves a lot still.
Cravings: The only two things I have really wanted this week were orange juice and ice cream. One night I just really wanted mint chocolate chip ice cream. Other than that I have not had cravings this week.
What I miss: I miss sleeping... this week I was woken up by Benjamin who had a bad dream so he got in bed with me at 2:45 then he decided he wanted to have a conversation with me. Finally I started to doze off again and at 3:30 this little one decided he was going to wake up and start jumping. I am pretty sure 3:30 will be his feeding time as this is when he consistantly wakes up at night. After that I couldn't fall asleep so I went and got in the recliner which was not comfortable, ended up on the couch reading at 4:30am and finally fell asleep sometime around 5:45. I had to get up at 7am for work. It was rough.
I miss not sweating all the time. I feel like I have been extra hot this pregnancy.
I miss not feeling so tight.
I miss feeling even slightly attractive. Right now I feel like a hormonal cow.

What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery done. This weekend we are going to get out the boxes of newborn stuff so I can start going through them in preparation for the baby. I am ready to finish cleaning and oragnizing our house as right now it is a disaster. You have to make a bigger mess in order to get it all cleaned up.
Symptoms: quite a few symptoms this week. I am starting to get small braxton hix contractions. Not often and not very strong. I have had nausea off and on this week, and I am feeling more tired during the day. (not sleeping well at night probably has some to do with this) and tlhe symptom I have noticed the most this week is HORMONES. I have been very hormonal, impatient, snappy and easily irritated.
