Baby Loves Daddy!!
Size of cabbage~approximately 3 pounds
*George Mason T-shirt and my FSU shorts still fit :)

How far along? 30 weeks

Total weight gain:

21 pounds total

Maternity clothes? 

Mostly maternity. My regular t-shirts are getting very short! See above.

Stretch marks? 

Nope just nice blue veins on my belly

Sleep: 

So much better! I haven’t had any leg cramps this week. I am having nightmares now and not about the baby or labor. Sunday night I dreamt that something bad happened to Oscar :( 

Best moment this week: 

Having a great doctor’s appointment! Working on the room! I would say we are over half way done. 

Miss Anything? 

Being able to get my to do list done in one day without getting really tired and swelling up like a balloon. Friday I about threw a fit because my body will just not let me do everything I want it to. I swear Saturday morning I was watching my fingers and feet swell by the minute.

Movement: 

This will never get old! He was very distracting during church doing gymnastics in there. Saturday night I felt a foot pressed against my belly, when I told Jamie to feel it Jackson gave a huge kick right at him! Jamie was like WHOAH! 

Food cravings: 

Sugar cookies with strawberry icing. Devil cookies. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Meat

Gender: 

BOY!

Labor Signs:

Nope. Possible Braxton Hicks but I'm still not 100% sure. The doctor explained what I'm looking for so I'll start paying more attention.

Symptoms: 

Physically tired, swelling in my shin and ankle, swelling in my hands. My legs are getting very tired. I have figured out if I do go for a walk anyway they seem to feel better. I am propping them up as much as possible.

Belly Button in or out? 

It’s mostly out. The bottom part is still in which is so weird because that is where Jackson hangs out. I really don’t mind it though.

Wedding rings on or off? 

Off. My fake ring has been getting several comments! hahah 

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

Oh boy I spoke to soon last week. The hormones are back! I am EMOTIONAL. Apparently at 30 weeks you are going through a surge of hormones again so the books tell me. I have really enjoyed running in the strangers who are pregnant and talking with them. I met a woman due right after me, married to a Jamie, and having a boy. 

Looking forward to: 

The next ultrasound! Lets see how big he is! 

Workout:

4 days even threw in the elliptical only because it was RAINING again. 

Reading:

Finally finished the Breastfeeding Book. 

Furry Babies:

Loving every second they get to spend in the baby’s room. One of them has to attempt sleeping in the crib at all times. Stella has been a little lover this week. She attempted to sleep on my belly a few times but couldn’t get comfortable.  I wonder why?!

To dos:

Let’s see I cleaned the couch ( I mean with soap and water) and all the vents... Nesting much?! I need to: organize diapering station for the top of the changing table. Finish the decorations for the room. Pack hospital bag. Find a pediatrician. Have 2nd baby shower.. it keeps going. Possibly hire a doula. 

Worries:

None! We find out how big he is in three weeks!! And the doctor says he has six more weeks before he needs to turn. The cramping is fine as long as my uterus isn’t tightening. 

10 more weeks!!

7 more weeks until he is full term!!

6 weeks left hanging out horizontal mr. jackson then it's time to turn.

3 weeks until the next/last ultrasound!

3 weeks until the baby shower!
