30 weeks

30 weeks already? amazing! nothing new to report on our little man, except i can tell he's starting to run out of space in there. he's a very active baby and now i can feel and watch him move all the time, not just during his more active periods. on sunday night i had to laugh out loud when we were at mom & dad's house watching the playoff games: matt was laying with his head on my lap/stomach and i could tell the baby was not happy about this -- he kept kicking matt in the head. i didn't think matt could really feel it, so i didn't really think anything of it. (on a side note: i do know that our little boy doesn't like people encroaching on his space because he gets very upset when i cross my arms across my stomach and kicks then, too). i finally had to laugh aloud when i saw matt's head start jumping because the baby was kicking so hard. i no longer wondered whether matt could feel the *subtle* hints our baby was sending him to get out of his space.
we did get to go to our bradley class this week and were lucky enough to be able to hear a birth story from some recent graduates of the class who had the first baby born in allen this year! i think the classes so far have been wonderful, hopefully we'll remember all this stuff when the baby is ready to arrive!

also, i apologize for looking a little sickly in these pics...my congestion has been a bit horrible this week and i look sleepy in every picture! hopefully that will clear up (again) soon so i can get back to sleeping, eating and breathing like normal!


How far along? 30 weeks

Weight gain/loss: ~18 lbs.

Maternity clothes? Yes!

Stretch marks? None so far

Sleep? Congestion returned this week, so sleep is tricky

Best moment this week? AKUC baby shower!

Food cravings: we had to go get a jake’s hamburger on Sunday, fortunately my husband agreed after some arm-twisting ;)

Gender: little boy!

Belly button in or out? In for now

What I miss? Ziegen Bock beer, chuy’s frozen margaritas, and cookie dough!

What I'm looking forward to: our next appointment

Weekly wisdom: trying to enjoy every kick and special moment, my pregnancy will be over in another 2 months!

Milestones: we’ve moved to bi-weekly (instead of monthly) OB appointments
