30 Weeks


How Far Along: 30 Weeks ... and a day and a half (I took this one last night)
Size of baby: Head of cabbage (weighs 3 pounds and measures 15.7 inches)
Maternity Clothes: most definitely.
Gender: Boy!
Movement: I feel him all the time. The weirdest thing is in the morning, after I have been sleeping on my side, I roll onto my back and he is completely on one side of my stomach. So, my stomach looks totally lopsided. Then my stomach evens out after I sit up but Jason and I think its so fun wondering which part of his body is sticking out the most - I think its his booty! :)
Sleep: I get up a couple times a night for the bathroom
What I miss: Sleeping through the night without getting up - I probably wont get that for a long time though :).
Cravings: I still crave fruit and sweets - which apparently is not the best for me. I got my Glucose test back and my numbers were very slightly elevated. I had to give blood again, after I ate a balanced meal, to see how my body digested the food. Everything came back normal which was great news. However, they now just want me to incorporate more protein into my diet. So, I need to cut back on my carbs/sugars - which is what I crave! Oh well, it really isn't that big of a deal to throw in a side of eggs with my morning cereal - as long as my little guy is okay. 
Aversions: None
Symptoms: Frequent bathroom breaks, still breaking out, swelling of my hands and feet and my back still kills me by the end of the day. The worst was the plane rides! The seats are so erect and there is no back support. I had to stuff my sweater behind my back for support and it still didn't completely alleviate the pain. It also didn't help that I wasn't able to get up and move around too much without the flight attendant giving me the stink eye -  I felt like those damn fasten seat belt signs were ALWAYS on! 
Best Moment this week: Traveling to California for my friends bridal shower and my baby shower. It definitely took a lot out of me but it was worth it. Every time I visit those friends, its like I never left. Those are the best type of friends!
