30 weeks



30 weeks along!  we took this pic as we were headed to my best friend from high school's wedding (congrats, again, Nini & Luis!).  and although i didn't get to enjoy any of the free alcohol that night, we had a great time celebrating and showing off my baby bump while catching up with friends from my school days.  it was great to see so many other friends there with kids and who were also expecting.  i will admit, it made me feel a little old and "all grown up."  time flies!
speaking of time flying, this pregnancy seems to be getting further and further along at a more rapid pace!  i think to myself, "oh, i'm only 30 weeks along." and then i realize that there is a very real possibility that we could be delivering in as little as 7 weeks (thanks to my history of early deliveries!).  hopefully this little guy will cooperate and stay in there at least until he's full term.  currently he's "about the size of a cabbage" at 15.7 inches and about 3 lbs.

maternity quiz
maternity clothes: i did make the switch to maternity jeans this week.  i remember why i'm not always a fan...they tend to slip down!  i'm constantly pulling my pants up all day when i wear them, but they are comfy otherwise.  besides, we all know that i wear yoga pants 99% of the time when i'm not wearing scrubs for work!
sleep: i continue to require breathe-right strips most of the time for sleep, but other than that i haven't had too many issues.  i'm also happy to report that for some reason the kids have begun waking my husband up in the morning (and occasionally in the middle of the night).  it's like they know!  smart kids, especially since i'll be waking up with the baby every few hours when he makes his arrival.  matt will be on "older kid duty" anyway ;)
best moment this week: getting to enjoy a night out with the hubby (and the baby bump) with old friends. 
cravings: hmm... maybe just waffles?  we have the huge box of waffles from costco and they are delicious (even if they aren't healthy) with butter and real maple syrup in the mornings.
what i miss: my energy.  because i've been less active (read: not working out or anything) this pregnancy, and i try to keep up with home stuff, work stuff, and two kiddos i feel like i always have less energy these days.
what i'm looking forward to: maternity leave...but i am really hoping we make it all the way to 37 weeks!
weekly wisdom: stretchy dresses are wonderful for before, during and after maternity!
milestones: another week!
