Bump: 30 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 30 Weeks




Total Weight Gain:  39 pounds

Size of Baby: Summer cantaloupe, motorcycle helmet, platypus

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe still

Sleep: It's continuing to be a struggle.  I can't seem to get comfortable and toss and turn a lot at night and have just now started to get up around 3/4am  to go to the bathroom which is annoying. :)

Food Cravings: Sweets! I'm trying my best to limit them though!

Food Aversions: None really.

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: Heartburn and getting tired again ...

Milestones: She's 3/4 baked! 

Movement: When I finally sit down and relax in the evening I get to feel her moving and grooving around. 

Best moment of the week:  Hearing her heartbeat at the doctors on Monday ... all sounded well and we'll go back in a month! And seeing her move on the OUTSIDE for the first time.  Such a weird feeling to look down and see my stomach moving from something in it.

Looking forward to: Baby showers! Our first one is in a week and a half - can't wait to get together with some great friends and family!

Extra Notes:  We're beginning to really get things together for the nursery.  I have the gallery walls all mapped out, and paper on the walls where the hubs has to hang everything. :)  We also have been looking at carpet/a rug to put in there - so many choices! 

This week I tried on one of my dresses for work - while it fit, I felt like I looked like I was as big as a house - the hubs just looked at me and said, "It's the pleats, you can't do pleats."  That one went to the WAY back of the closet for now. :)

Bump: 29 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 29 Weeks



Total Weight Gain: 35.3 pounds

Size of Baby: A pineapple or a barbie car

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe still

Sleep: This week was a struggle, I tend to toss and turn a lot. 

Food Cravings: Chocolate, Lucky Charms cereal

Food Aversions: Healthy food, I'd rather have all the sweets and carbs my little heart desires!

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: Heart burn

Milestones: None that I'm aware of.

Movement: Feeling her mostly at night once I finally stop and lay down :) 

Best moment of the week:  Otis has been giving the bump some serious cuddles this week which has been super cute.  I worry how he'll adjust (crazy puppy mom I know) but it seems like he loves her already :)

Looking forward to: A three day weekend and doctors appointment on Monday, always enjoy hearing baby girls heart beat! 

Extra Notes:  Pregnancy brain is a real thing ... this weekend the hubs was looking for the milk and couldn't find it.  I knew I had JUST opened up a new container of almond milk ... we went searching for it - yup, I had put it on TOP of the refrigerator with the cereal I put away.  Oops!

Bump: 28 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 28 Weeks



Total Weight Gain: 33.9 pounds

Size of Baby: A coconut

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe still

Sleep: I will wake up in the middle of the night and be wide awake - after playing on my phone and reading for a little I eventually fall back asleep.

Food Cravings: Chocolate!

Food Aversions: Chili - I made some in the crock pot this week, the hubs ate it for dinner and I had a bowl of cereal :)

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: Lots of heartburn the last couple days.

Milestones: Hello third trimester! 

Movement: I feel her at night.

Best moment of the week: Time spent with college girlfriends! 

Looking forward to: First forensics tournament this weekend! While I'm not looking forward to having to be ready by 4:45am, knowing that this is the last season I'll probably be going to all the tournaments is a little sad!  I'll have to stay back with baby girl next year. 

Extra Notes:  While downstate this past weekend I picked up more things to hang in the nursery - we know have things complete for two little gallery wall collections.  I had to paint a couple things {We are hanging her initial instead of her name} so I got those done this week.  Can't wait to get that all hung! 

My kiddos have now started to poke my belly.  When lining up this week, as they got into line a couple of them just took a finger and poked my belly.  They thought they were sooooo funny ... hmmm .... ;)

Bump: 27 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 27 Weeks



Total Weight Gain: 34.1 pounds

Size of Baby: A bunch of bananas, a camping lantern 

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe still

Sleep: A couple rough nights this week! I've been waking up with charlie horses which are no fun! 

Food Cravings: Ice cream! 

Food Aversions: Still healthy stuff still doesn't sound good - but I force it down! 

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: Starting to get oh so tired and exhausted after the work day once again. 

Milestones: According to my app we've reached our second viability milestone. 

Movement: Moving and a grooving at night!

Best moment of the week:  Since she's been moving a lot more the hubs has been able to feel her more often.  It's great to grab his hand and have him feel a couple kicks every now and then. 

Looking forward to: Heading downstate this weekend to see my science girls! We haven't all been together in over two years! 

Extra Notes:  
This weekend we were up at the in-laws and the fabric arrived for the nursery.  I LOVE it!  I can't wait to get things made and hung up in her room! 

I finished crocheting her blanket for her last night - I'm pretty sure I'll have to convince Otis the blanket isn't for him :)
