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...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
