30 Week Bumpdate

How far along: 30 weeks (May 12, 2013)

What's Up with My Body: I want to say the harder days of pregnancy have arrived. But having been through this rodeo once before, I know that things can/may get worse. This past weekend were my hardest days of both pregnancies so far. I think I've had some type of stomach virus the past few days. That, coupled with me not drinking enough, had me feeling what I thought might be small contractions. I laid in bed the entire day Saturday, trying to just rest and drink water. I've been drinking more water, but I'm not a natural at drinking a lot. So I've been forcing myself. 

Emotions: I think I've been even-keeled lately. My husband hasn't said I've been driving him crazy, so I'll take this as a good sign.

Food: I've been wanting fish lately. Tuna, salmon, etc.

Baby: active little girl! I love it!

Labor Signs: none, thankfully!!

Stretch Marks: same one as before

Using: nada

Nursery: We're in the process of buying a home, so as soon as we're in a new home, the nursery is at the top of my list to work on. My priorities are straight, obviously.

Concerns: Drinking more water to avoid feeling the scariness of this past weekend.

Maternity Clothes: I'm living in maxi dresses. And some maternity cargo capris. Super cute stuff.

Dreams: no major ones I remember

Funniest Daddy Moment: The Husband said something yesterday and said, "my girls something something..." I just caught my girls and got so excited. Plural. More than one. Eek! Hubs didn't realize what he'd said until I pointed it out. So cute.

Classes?: no thanks

Something I want to always remember: what it feels like to be pregnant, how lucky I am to carry my own child, to feel the baby move

Size of baby?: head of lettuce (18 in, 3.2 lbs)

Weight gain?: I've gained 23 lbs total so far.

Sleep?: I toss and turn every few hours. And it's work to turn over. I need a forklift. Seriously.

Best Moment of the Week? M was doing imaginary play and set out a plate with food for her baby sister. I pretty much melted. She's going to be the best big sister.

Miss Anything? Being able to move around with ease, or sleeping comfortably. Or being able to not be winded when I climb a set of stairs. Or not be congested.

Movement?: yes!

Food Cravings?: none

Gender?: sweet Baby Girl!

Symptoms?: heartburn. Ohmygosh the heartburn. Tums are being used often. And I now have pepcid to take. This baby may very well come out with a full head of hair like her sissy did. Love!

Belly button in or out?: In, thankfully. Let's hope it stays that way.

Looking forward to: Seeing M with her sibling. What a great sister we know she'll be.

Next baby check-up?: early June.
