How far along? 30 weeks (oops! missed 29 weeks)
Baby is the size of a: squash
Total weight gain/loss: up another 7 lb from my last appointment. Total gain of 20.5 lb
Maternity clothes? yup
Sleep: Decent lately, I have gotten to sleep in more mornings too since my mom has been in town so that helps.
Best moment this week: Midwife appointment went well! It was nice having David, Matthew and my mom all there. Matthew got a little too energetic towards the end since the appointment is an hour long but luckily I had other there to keep him from destroying the prenatal room! Mom got to tour the birth center. We talked a little about how labor *could* go much faster, like 4-6 hours and that freaked David out. I also think maybe I won’t have to worry as much about David tempting me constantly wanting to buy ice cream and cookies (the man is on a sugar binge lately!) because my midwife was saying too many sweets and ice cream late in pregnancy can cause a big baby.
Movement: Movements have gotten more and more like flexing around rather than kicks (most of the time anyway). I can see my belly blob around through my shirt when he moves. He’s most active in late evening and I swear he has some kind of midnight/ 1:00 a.m. dance party thing going on!
Food cravings/aversions: Not really
Belly Button in or out? Out
What I miss: More energy/being more able to bend down and move around freely
What I am looking forward to: Getting more nesting done. We have been working on clearing out some rooms and doing various home projects the past few days since David took a few days off work.
Weekly Wisdom: ?
Milestones: 3/4 done! (or more if I go early)
Symptoms: Same as before, a little back pain the evenings and pain under my boobs from belly pushing up so high.
