30 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 30 Weeks

Size of Baby: Almost 16 inches long and weighs 3lbs..

Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 23lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Everything.

Gender: It's a girl!

Movement: She is very active and constantly moving. She likes to stretch and kick my ribs. It's really entertaining to watch the belly and see the wave of movements or how it will look lopsided at times.

What I miss: Laying on my stomach at night. Being able to bend with ease. Being able to paint my own toes. Being able to give the kids baths. I know Adam misses this as well because bath time is his least favorite activity for toddlers. Being able to wear my engagement and wedding rings. My hands aren't really swollen, or at least don't look swollen, I have extremely tiny fingers and wear a size 3. The heat hasn't helped this out, so I am wearing a fake ring I found at Charming Charlies while I was pregnant with Taylor.

Cravings: Anything spicy. My eating habits are pretty normal. I'm not constantly hungry. I was just telling Adam that this pregnancy is definitely different food wise because the only time I really eat anything is at meal time. Pregnancy used to be the only time I would snack.

Symptoms: Heartburn, frequent bathroom breaks, having a hard time getting comfortable at night. Swollen ankles on occasion. We have had temps over 100 degrees for over 30 days in a row and in the last couple of weeks, the temps have risen as high as 115 degrees at our house. While I'm not outside constantly, I still like to get out and do things and be active.

Best Moment of the Week: Only 10 more weeks until my due date. Today we went to the Carters by my house and Mason & Taylor picked out two sleepers for Peyton.

 

 

Back at 20 weeks I started sorting and going through all of Taylor's old clothes. I did the same with Mason's and I'm ready for a garage sale. I probably have 30 plus boxes of clothes that will be up for sale come October (our neighborhood only allows garage sales twice a year and the next one isn't until the beginning of October, close to my due date). Peyton will have a ton of cute clothes thanks to her older sister, but I wanted her to have something that was just for her. We really need to work on her room and I need to start washing all of the clothes to prepare for her arrival. It will be here before we know it.
