30 weeks pregnancy update

June 6, 2018

How far along:

30 weeks – we are in single digits now for the weekly countdown!

Baby is the size of a:

Cabbage or a Motorcycle Helmet? That sounds a little outrageous if you ask me!

Total weight gain:

Lost one pound this week, but still up 31lbs.

Maternity Clothes?

Nothing new. Mostly wearing dresses these days because pants feel super restrictive to me.

Stretch Marks?

Not yet.

Sleep?

A little better this week. Still only one bathroom break per night.

Best moment of the Week:

Getting the nursery somewhat ready and having our baby sprinkle!

Movement:

All the time. I heard I’m supposed to do count kicks, but I never did that with Fox and feel like I feel this kid constantly anyway, so not sure if I need to do that or how to even do it. I’ve been slacking about reading my pregnancy book this time around.

Food Cravings:

Nothing really. I just eat to not be hungry but nothing ever sounds good to me.

Belly Button in or out:

In.

Gender:

Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:

I get a few backaches here and there, but nothing unbearable. Getting out of breath super fast as well. I had my maternity pictures yesterday and we were walking through this tall field of grass (and I was wearing heels and a dress), it was 105 degrees out and I was sweating and huffing and puffing like crazy. I was so tired afterwards, it felt like a workout.

Pregnancy Depression is still going strong and I don’t know if I want this baby out of me in the hopes that I will feel better or if I want to keep him in forever because I’m scared what will happen with my hormones after the birth. Either way, it’s not my choice and he will come when he is ready (or will be evicted on August 8^th).

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

My bad attitude is making me sick…does that count? LOL

Have you Started to Show yet?

Getting bigger every week, although people keep telling me that I still look tiny. I don’t think my belly is any bigger than it was with Fox.

What I miss:

Same as last week.

What I'm looking forward to:

Nothing really. Walking with a huge dark cloud over my head these days.

What I'm not looking forward to:

I’m scared about what is currently happening with me and I’m really worried about everything, even stuff I shouldn’t worry about it. My mind is blowing everything out of proportion.

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget. Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place. Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology. I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit. The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house. We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
