29 & 30 Weeks
How far along? 30 weeks
Size of baby? Large Cabbage
Total weight gain/loss: I currently weigh 135.4 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yes. Getting dressed in general is just...hard. Bending over for socks? Hell on earth.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: I keep waking up with nose bleeds!
Best moment this week: Many people who know me and my husband also know he talks in his sleep, quite clearly. This week I heard Sequoyah talking about Baby R in the middle of the night. It was darling. Also I took some maternity photos this week!
Miss Anything? Bending over. So much.
Movement: This is such a blessing and a curse for me. I LOVE feeling him flip around in there but sometimes dude, it hurts. My rib pain from last week has now encased my entire rib cage.
Food cravings: Corn dogs and Slurpees.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I don't know if this counts as "queasy" or "sick" but I get vertigo all the time now!
Have you started to show yet: Yes. I look like a creature from outer space naked.
Gender: Baby BOY.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? I think my belly button is a little confused on how to answer this one. It's still making up it's mind.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! The closer it gets, the more overwhelmed I feel. But I'm excited!
How Toby is handling the baby: I read an article on dog's hearing and pregnancy. Apparently after 28 weeks a fetus' vocal cords are functioning and they begin to cry in the womb. Humans cannot hear it, but dogs can! I wonder if Toby can hear Baby R?
Weekly Wisdom: I've taken up eating dried fruit this week. It's super yummy and good for you!
Looking forward to: MAY
.
How far along? 29 weeks
Size of baby? Butternut Squash
Total weight gain/loss: 135 lbs. +16 lbs!
Maternity clothes? A lot of my pre-pregnancy button-ups still fit around my belly, so I have been wearing those to work every day.
Stretch marks? NO
Sleep: Getting progressively more and more difficult. I'm up at 3 and 6 am for bathroom breaks.
Best moment this week: Watching Shane freak out over my alien-like moving belly.
Miss Anything? COOKIE DOUGH.
Movement: His little tush (I think) is right up against my ribs on my right side. They are so bruised from all his kicks and pushes.
Food cravings: I had to make cookies this week and it was TORTURE not to eat the dough.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Doing the dishes is not a fun time.
Have you started to show yet: Compared to what I usually look like not pregnant? Yes. But I am not very big yet!
Gender: Baby boy Rainer.
Labor Signs: Not yet!
Belly Button in or out? In, but pretty flat!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy! Tired, but happy.
How Toby is handling the baby: Toby is getting used to all these new "rules" we are setting for him in prep for Baby R. He's managing, but not happy about it!
Weekly Wisdom: Buying underwear that fits is worth the expense! Trust me.
Looking forward to: My 30 week Dr. appointment!
