30 weeks

How far along? 30 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: Up 24 lbs. I have been freaking out since yesterday because I thought I gained four pounds this week, but luckily I just miscalculated and have only gained ONE pound this week! Haha

Maternity clothes: Yes please!

Stretch marks: Same ones

Sleep: Good for the most part. I’ve always been a stomach sleeper and so far with this pregnancy, I’ve been able to sleep half way on my stomach, propped up on a body pillow. But now, he’s getting so big that sleeping on my belly at all is uncomfortable. I HATE sleeping on my side! He also has a new trick of kicking the bed when I’m laying down, so that’s been keeping me up as well. :)

Best moment this week: Brad and I had a date night Friday night!

Movement: Absolutely! I’ve been trying to get him dancing around on video, but you can’t ever see it as good as you can in real life!

Food cravings/aversions: Fruit, sour candy. I am an avid Mt Dew drinker, but this week I just haven’t wanted it that much.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: I’m still having a ton of Braxton-Hicks. They are a bit concerning to me, especially when I have 5 in 30 minutes or one contraction that lasts ten minutes, but every time I call my doctor’s office they tell me not to worry until they stay in a regular pattern. Luckily I have a doctor’s appointment Wednesday, so I can talk to my doctor about it. My blood pressure was also slightly elevated this morning at 129/80. Mine is usually 110/50ish. I’ve also been really sore from contracting so much.

Belly button in or out: Out and so strange!

What I miss: My pre-pregnancy body!

What I am looking forward to: My doctor’s appointment this week!

Weekly wisdom: Sour Patch watermelons are really yummy! :)

Milestone: Only 10 more weeks to go! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
