30 WEEKS!!!

March 23, 2013

  WEEK 30 | PRINCESS IS THE SIZE OF A HEAD OF AN ENGLISH CUKE | 16.7 INCHES | 3.8 LBS 





THIS WEEK.... Princess's skin is smoothing out and much less wrinkly then before because of the fat growing, her brain is also growing and she can now grasp a finger!!


MOMMY SYMPTOMS (from The Bump)

  • Heartburn, which might be making sleep hard to come by. (YES)

  • Swelling -- it's totally normal, as long as it's not sudden or severe.  (NO)

  • General discomfort, thanks to your big belly. (YES)

  • Shortness of breath. Those lungs just keep getting more crowded, right? (YES)

  • Trouble sleeping, which leads to another issue: Fatigue. (YES)

  • Weird, vivid dreams. One word (a familiar one): Hormones. (NO)




I have been slacking with the posts, actually not slacking but I have been SOOOOO BUSY with work!

Noone can believe the size of my belly these days.  It's funny how many people just smile when they see my bulging belly.  Or say WOW any day now huh?  And I'm like "not really 10 more weeks!"  Holy FUCKBALLS...only 10 more weeks! 


Growing!!



No pants!!



What I eat every morning...



How far along? 30 Weeks 3 Day



Total weight gain or loss: 26 lbs



Maternity clothes?  Yes.  Can fit in some of my pre-preg sweats and some tops not pants.  

Stretch marks? On my boobs waaaaaaah!!!

Sleep:  It's rough.  Sleeping on my side is excruciating on my hips and at this point I flop from side to side like a beached whale.  The belly is painful when I switch sides because of the ligaments stretching.  But its ALLLLL worth it!!!

Best moment this week: Seeing my monkey's booty pop out from my belly, I could totally tell that's what it was bc I felt her head and her feet earlier that day.

Miss Anything?  Unwinding after a stressful day with a glass of wine.  I also miss being upside down in crazy yoga poses.

Movement: Yes. There is nothing more amazing in this world then feeling an actual life growing inside of me.  Every jab, kick and glide is a reality check that Jeff and I created this little person out of love.... She is getting so strong and it can actually be a little uncomfortable but its still THE coolest thing EVER!

Food cravings: Lemon Ice, fruit, salad.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing.

Symptoms:  Sore boobs.

Belly Button in or out?  Belly button?  What belly button?

Happy or Moody most of the time:  On CLOUD 9!

Looking forward to:  Seeing our baby girl at our next ultrasound...in a few weeks.  Can't wait to see who she looks like and if her head is covered in hair like me or bald like Jeff!!
