30 Weeks

My mom and I at my baby shower this past weekend

How far along?  30 weeks and 4 days

Total weight gain: Once again, WAY TOO MUCH!!  I started keeping track of my calories after my last doctor's appointment and there's just no way I'm eating enough calories to be gaining real weight at the rate that I am gaining it.  It has to be water weight - and I've been really swollen lately.  Also, more than a couple people have asked me how I've managed to stay so fit during my pregnancy.  I'm pretty sure I just looked at them with my eyes popping out in surprise!

Maternity clothes? Always

Stretch marks? Just the same two I've had.  I've been trying SO hard to not scratch my itchy skin and slather on shea butter instead.

Sleep: Still not great, but okay.  I did get a maternity body pillow and it lasted for about 2 minutes in bed with me before I threw it on the floor - it wasn't comfortable at all!  I'll stick with my extra pillows from the couch for now, thanks.

Best moment this week: Our trip to Pittsburgh and my beautiful baby shower last weekend!!  (A more detailed post on baby shower to come!)

Miss Anything? Sleeping all the way through the night and being able to wear cute shoes (my feet are too swollen)!  Also cold lunch meat sandwiches.

Movement: All the time and I love it!  

Food cravings: Not really - ice cold water and/or coke.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Thankfully, no

Gender: Sweet little boy!

Symptoms: Swollen feet and hands, hip pain, and having to pee ALL the time.  

Belly Button in or out? Getting pretty flat - and I think the top half is beginning to pop out.

Rings on or off? On, and they will be staying that way unfortunately.  My hands are too swollen at this point to get them off!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! :)

Looking forward to: Unpacking and setting up all the gifts we got at our baby shower!
