30 Weeks...

How far along? 30 weeks...only 10 weeks to go!

Date picture was taken: Monday, May 27th.

Total weight gain/loss: I'm up another 4lbs as of my May 15th appt.

Maternity clothes? Yes, but even some of those are starting to feel a little snug and unflattering. Some of the maternity jeans are getting tight and the cute, flowy shirts have lost there shape and, as Mr. says, they look like I am wearing a big bag.

Stretch marks? No, thank goodness but they have been on my mind lately. I think if I am going to get them, they will likely happen during this last home stretch. I feel a little better knowing that my mom didn't get them when she was pregnant...so glad I asked her last week...it keeps me hopeful. Fingers crossed!

Sleep: Getting a little more challenging. Not only am I getting up more often, I'm having a hard time getting comfortable most nights. Once I wake up, it's hard to fall back asleep. Baby is also quite active at night which adds to the challenge...especially now that her kicks and movements are getting stronger.

Best moment this week: Spending time with Mr. We had fun last weekend. I'm enjoying the time we can spend together, just the two of us, before the baby comes.

Miss Anything? Well...we had a wedding last weekend...with an open bar...

Movement: Yes! I find it fun to watch my stomach...the movements are becoming more visible and are pretty amazing.

Food cravings: Sweets still but as I get close to my "recommended" total weight gain (and still have 10 weeks to go!), I am trying to cut back a little.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Actually...a little queasy this week a few times...not sure why...maybe the headaches.

Have you started to show yet: Yes and really starting to feel "big".

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? Flat

Wedding rings on or off? On

Feeling: After feeling great for the past few months...which I am very thankful for...I've noticed a change this week. I'm feeling more tired and had a HORRIBLE headache a few days and nights this week. I just feel off...like I am running out of gas. I guess this is my body's way of telling me to slow down. I hear it's very likely that I will feel this way for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Looking forward to: Next doctors appt on May 30th...and getting the nursery done. Paint and carpet have been picked and will be done soon.

Next Appt: May 30th

Baby is the Size of a: Cabbage

Shower Outfits

I had the absolute pleasure of making a trip back to Michigan for two baby showers the first weekend in May. I had such a blast!
I'm still sorting through and editing the pictures from my trip. I hope to have pictures from the actual baby showers up this week. In the meantime, here is a preview of the outfits that I wore.
Thank you to Mr's family for planning the most beautiful and elegant shower for me on Saturday. Here is a collage of my outfit...

28 Weeks...

How far along? 28 weeks

Date picture was taken: Sunday, May 12th. It's been a crazy past few weeks. I apologize I haven't posted a picture sooner.

Total weight gain/loss: I gained another 6 lbs as of my May 1st appt.

Maternity clothes? Of course and feeling like I have no clothes to wear. My maternity clothes are great but I feel like I am wearing the same things over and over again.

Stretch marks? Still good and now applying stretch mark cream twice a day, morning and night.

Sleep: Pretty good...

Best moment this week: My baby showers in Michigan last weekend. I will do a separate post with pictures very soon.

Miss Anything? Caffeine

Movement: Yes and lots of it! She is a very active girl!

Food cravings: Sweets!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Have you started to show yet: Yes and getting bigger very day...and, strangely, I feel bigger in the afternoons and evenings.

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? Flat

Wedding rings on or off? On

Feeling: Still really good! I'm also so excited and happy! Other than the occasional heartburn and a periodic sharp pain in my lower back...possibly my sciatic nerve...I'm feeling great!

Looking forward to: Next doctors appt on May 15th...although the appointments really aren't anything major, I enjoy hearing the heartbeat and getting a few minutes with the doctor.

Next Appt: May 15th

Baby is the Size of a: Eggplant
