Posting this a little late (so I am now 31 weeks), and that means only 9 more weeks until our baby is here! How crazy is that?!
30 Week Stats:
30 Week Stats:
- Weight Gain: Total gain so far is 11.6lbs!
- Maternity Clothes: Maternity clothes are a must! Even some of my Motherhood Maternity sweaters aren't covering the bottom of my bump anymore. Sadly, it's not because my bump is so big... It's because of my height coupled with the size of my bump!
- Stretch Marks? None yet! Although the skin on and around my belly button seems so thin and stretched I feel like it'll rip open at any time.
- Sleep: It hasn't been horrible the last week or so. I can typically fall asleep quickly, but I nearly always wake up between 2:30-3:30am to make a trip to the bathroom.
- Miss Anything? Sleeping on my back. My hips get so sore during the night from side sleeping. I just want to lay on my back so badly!
- Movement: Still lots of movement, but it's starting to feel different. Baby seems to be moving slower and more deliberately rather than sporadic kicks and punches. It makes it interesting trying to interpret what he's up to in there.
- Food Cravings: Sweets! That doesn't seem like anything new though. I have a terrible sweet tooth whether pregnant or not. I have been extremely thirsty though! So I've also been craving a lot of liquids. Water, juice, milk... All of it.
- Queasy or Sick? Yes, I've been getting queasy more frequently lately. I think this is mainly due to my need to adjust my eating habits. I can't fit bigger meals in my belly anymore since its full of baby! So, when I eat a little too much it definitely sparks the queasiness.
- Best Moment this Week: My baby shower! Not only was it lovely to celebrate baby, but also see my friends and family together. It was an uplifting morning, and my heart was exploding with happiness.
- Symptoms: RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME. Ugh! I would love to be able to be one of those pregnant ladies who lives in leggings but damnit any tight pants make the RLS way worse! Aside from that, there was one day - yes, just one day - that I did experience nipple leakage. Ha! It leaked enough to go through my bra and everything. So embarrassing. Since then I haven't experienced it again.
- Labor Signs? I don't think so. I have had some pains and discomfort on my lower pelvis but I am guessing if it was contractions I would know it. So, I'm going to say no.
- Belly Button - In or Out? It's out!! Oh my gosh I didn't think it was possible, but it is sticking out now. So weird!
- Wedding Rings - On or Off? On!
- Happy or Moody? Moody! Lots of moodiness. I have felt my anxiety/depression much more lately. I'll definitely be running it by my midwife at the next appointment just in case it's something to keep tabs on.
- Looking forward to: I have an order of some more cloth diaper covers coming in the mail!! I ordered 4 new covers from Alva Baby. I can't wait until they arrive because damn they are inexpensive! They have a lot of good reviews though so fingers crossed they are a good addition to my current stash.
