30 weeks

How far along? 30 weeks!
Total weight gain: I haven't weighed since last week. I'm eating all my favorite things in Austin though, so pretty sure I'll be up a few pounds next time I do step on the scale :)

Maternity clothes? yep! Except I just asked my dad for a few of his XL t-shirts because none of my t-shirts fit anymore, and let's face it, I'm a t-shirt kind of gal.

Stretch marks? uh-huh

Sleep: I've been sleeping better this week in Austin...maybe it's the new mattress, or maybe the fact that my mom is a shopaholic and we've been painting the town all day long! :)

Best moment this week: Easily, it was my "Ahoy, Baby" shower! (post and pics to come). Although I also loved getting to spend time with my nieces and nephews on both sides.

Miss Anything? I miss sleeping on my back. It's my favorite posish to sleep in, and I can't do it even for a few minutes without getting out of breath and all my limbs tingling. I guess that's why they tell you not to? :)

Movement: Yes, so much. It's a different type of movement (as I mentioned last week), but it's still there and I'm feeling him all day and night. He especially loves when I drink really cold ice water!

Food cravings:home made chocolate chip cookies...still!

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!

Gender: BOY!

Labor Signs: nope!

Symptoms: swelling in my feet and ankles, and Braxton Hicks contractions. My entire abdomen gets so tight...such a strange sensation. I wouldn't say it's painful, but certainly uncomfortable. Honestly, in these moments, I'm grateful to be having a cesarean, and find comfort in knowing I don't (ahem, shouldn't) have to experience labor. Does that make me a wimp?

Wedding rings on or off? off, but I'm sporting a fake :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy girl :)

Looking forward to: going home to Midlo and sorting through all the amazing gifts that we were given at the shower. I can't wait to start doing laundry and putting his tiny clothes into drawers and his closet.
