30 Weeks

How far along: 30 Weeks with Baby Girl. I CAN'T BELIEVE we're this far into the pregnancy already. It's going by too fast! Before we know it she'll be here and I won't be pregnant anymore...sad. But...on the other hand, we can't wait for her to arrive. ...although then our life changes...yikes.

Size of Baby: Squash. My mom and I made bread the other day and when I shaped the dough for the pan it looked just like the size of the babe so I held it up to my belly for my mom. She got a kick out of that!

Weight Gain: Somehow this escaped a few of the previous entries...not sure what happened there. I think I've gained between 10-12 lbs. Somewhere around there.

Maternity Clothes: Nothing new to write here. I wish I had some skirts...my mom is coming this week so maybe we will get crafty and try to make some. We'll see!

Sleep: Still sleeping wonderfully which I am loving after the previous few months! For the first time the other night baby girl kept me from being able to fall asleep for over an hour because she was busy as a bee in there...impossible to sleep when you have all that going on inside! I love it. ...although I might not have loved it if I had to get up early the next morning! :) We all know I adore my sleep.

Foods I'm loving: I've noticed I'm not as desperate for my bowl of cereal every day lately...I have definitely been into chocolate...I usually prefer a vanilla based ice cream but lately I want chocolate...that's pretty unusual.Oh, it also sounds really weird but I got really excited the other day talking about grilling hotdogs. Those are very yummy to me these days. Oh, and I've been thinking about eating a banana for the last 30 minutes...you can bet I'll be getting one as soon as I'm done with this!

Foods I'm hating: Still just whatever gives me heartburn which always seems to be something random.

Movement: All through the day but she seems to be busier in the evenings. Her size now makes her movements really obvious too. Daniel and I will be sitting on the couch and we'll see my belly move when we're not even watching for it...we'll see it out of the corner of our eye...it's that obvious! She moves quite a bit after I eat, too. ...and she can pack quite punch now. She's surprised me with how hard she jabs sometimes...it's actually hurt a couple times! 

Best moment this week: I spent the week with my mom and that was really fun. On Friday I COULD NOT wait to see my hubby. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face when I finally got to see him. ...and now he is sick with a fever poor baby. 

What I miss: Being cool. It's been BLAZING hot this week. I am not used to feeling hot. Like...hardly ever. I'm just very cold natured. Not now! 

What I'm looking forward to: My mom is coming to spend a few days with us this week and I am excited to get some things done in the nursery and around the house with her! She must not mind being put to work when she comes because I sure seem to do that to her! ..Especially since I've been pregnant.

Side Note: I'm wondering if baby will be born a little earlier than her due date because of my Braxton Hicks. My mom says she didn't start having them until the last month of pregnancy...I started a good month ago. I don't know how often really...maybe not every day but definitely several times a week. It's crazy...my belly morphs into this tight little ball and is hard as a rock. Getting prepared I guess!

...and now it's banana time!
