30 weeks- 9 to go!!!

30 weeks with Emi

30 weeks baby boy

How far along? 30 weeks- 9 left!! Thank goodness!

Size of baby? The bump app says the size of a cucumber

Heartbeat? 131 BPM at the last apt

Total weight gain/loss? With Emi I had only gained 14. I didn’t weigh today and honestly I haven’t weighted in a few weeks. They’ll make me weigh at the dr next week so I’ll know then. I think at the last dr appointment it was still under 20.

Maternity clothes? Got some cute stuff for Christmas including a new pair of jeans that fit well. I probably won’t buy much more until the end since it’s on the end stretch.

Stretch marks?  Not that I’ve noticed. Lots of blue veins though. And of course Emi left behind some on my hips.

Sleep? Sleep is getting a little harder between the crazy dreams, heart burn, restlessness, and leg cramps. Emi has learned to sleep in which is nice, but I don’t really benefit from it at this point.  

Best moment this week? I finally got the nursery organized and ready to add stuff. Everything that had to go is gone and now it’s kinda a blank slate and what I do have is organized.

Movement? Lots of moments. It’s like to moves to one side and that whole side of my stomach sticks out in a hard bump until he goes back down.

 
Food cravings?  Water and salad.

Gender predictions? Boy. It’s either Thomas Anthony or Eli Thomas at this point. I have an issue with Jrs or kids that have the II or III at the end of their name. It’s a hang up I have and I can’t get past it yet!

What I miss:  Sleep! I napped a lot over break which was nice, but I don’t sleep well at night at this point.

What I'm looking forward to:  Started planning for my shower which made it sorta exciting! Didn’t realize how few weekends are between now and then so that freaked me out, but we picked a date for a shower.

 
How are you feeling? Other than the sleep issue I don’t feel too terrible. I’m not comfortable, but that’s only going to get worse! I don’t have too many complaints so I guess I’m in good shape!
