Week 30

Baby is the Size of a Cabbage

We are down to the single digit weekly countdown now that this week is officially over!  Time is flying by and all I want is to snuggle my little nugget!

30 weeks, 1 day

Baby H is strong enough to grasp a finger! 

How far along? 30 weeks 

Maternity clothes?  I treated myself to some more maternity undies because the only thing worse than not being able to sleep is not being able to sleep while wearing uncomfortable underwear. 

Stretch marks? Still no! 

Sleep: The break from work did a number on my sleep!  I actually slept most nights and sleeping in past 5:30 AM was a dream come true.    

Best moment(s) this week: 

Thanksgiving Break! So much good food, so much friend time, so much productivity! 

Miss Anything? 

Drinking during the holidays.  

Movement: The bigger he gets, the more uncomfortable his movements are.  He's running out of room! 

Food cravings: Cereal, sweets, breakfast. 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Salad and meat again. 

Gender: Baby Boy

Labor Signs: Nothing new this week. 

Symptoms:

-Weird Dreams- For instance, my husband is named Javi and he died and left me pregnant with another woman's baby.  Another fun one was that everyone in my life stopped talking to me because I was unable to breastfeed.  I was also dating three men in one of my dreams, oops. 

-Shortness of breath- I can't go up and down the stairs anymore without feeling like I ran a marathon.

-Discomfort- Between feeling off balance, being kicked in the ribs and punched in the va jay jay, and having my entire body completely change I am experiencing some general discomfort. 

Belly Button in or out? In- holding on strong! 

Wedding rings on or off? On- let's hope that swelling stays away! 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Mmmmm, both. I think I was better at controlling my emotions this week thanks to some extra sleep. 

Looking forward to: Labor.  Well, not the hard part, but the part where I get to meet my baby and see his sweet little face.  Only 9(ish) more weeks of waiting!
