How far along: 30 weeks, 3 days
Due date: May 9, 2014
Next doctor's appointment: March 5th (Just a couple days away!! I love going to the doctor more often and checking in on my little man!! After Wednesday's appointment it will be every other week!!! Hoooray!!!! Getting anxious to meet my boy!)
Our baby is the size of a veggie/fruit/food: Large Cabbage or a Cucumber
Our baby in man terms: Fully Inflated Basketball or a Loaf of Bread
Total weight gain/loss: +12.4 lbs (stayed close to the same this week, which was a relief, sort of expected to shoot up 5 pounds with all the extra moving he was doing, hoping my weight gain continues to go at a slow, steady pace)
News: I'm feeling lots of big movements, frequently! It's like a switch flipped when I hit 29 weeks and since then Connor has bern going wild!! :) It's awesome until he's kicking me in the ribs, lol!
Best moments this week: As always, I love feeling more and more movement out of Connor, but I think my favorite moments this weekend are my mini vacation with Michael this weekend. :) I love being able to get away, just him and I, every now and then. And since Connor will be here soon and I will have to be close to him for the next year, this is one of our last chances to get away together for a while. :) A big huge thank you to my mom for watching Avery for us this weekend so we can have some one on one time! :)
Milestones: We hit 30 weeks! That means we're 3/4 of the way done!! Can't believe I only have a quarter of my pregnancy left! It's gone by so fast! And I still have so much to do! :P
Symptoms: Fatigue, shortness of breath, an ever-growing abdomen, heartburn, and stretch marks (oh yeah, and a little insomnia, which is why I began typing all of this before 7am, on my vacation, lol)
Maternity clothes? Oh heavens, yes! :P
Stretch marks? Yup, the ones I got from Avery are darkening and stretching a little more. Rats, no waiting until 34 weeks this time around...
Belly Button in or out? In
Movement: Lots of it! Loving (almost) every minute of it. ;)
Gender: Baby boy
Sleep: I can usually sleep pretty well as long as I'm laying on my side so I can breathe. Laying on my back is basically out of the question for more than a minute or two. And the insomnia is starting to kick in again, so I might be blogging more often early in the morning. ;)
Food cravings: All of it! :P I feel like I'm always hungry! Trying to keep my choices remotely healthy.
Food aversions: Nope
What I miss: Breathing easily, lol
What I'm loving: Counting down the weeks and feeling Connor's foot under my skin when he gets particularly rowdy. ;)
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting Connor, packing our hospital bag, getting maternity photos taken
Thoughts and feelings about Michael: I had such a wonderful weekend with Michael in Kansas City. He knows how to make me feel so loved and appreciated. It's hard to believe that he and I have been married for almost 5 years! I cherish him daily and all he does to make my life better and happier. He is truly my better half. :)
Thoughts and feelings about Avery: It was nice to get away for a bit, but wonderful to get back home to Avery! I love that sweet little girl so very much! It's nice to be back home with her, cuddling and talking and playing. She is so amazing! It's truly an honor to be her mom. :)
Labor signs: Nope
Goals: Get the house picked up again, my on-going battle, put away Avery and Connor's new clothes from our trip, do some laundry, unpack, rest (yeah right, lol)
Weekly Wisdom: Two kids is plenty! :P
