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 8th). 

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.

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
