| 30 Week Bump Shot |
Total weight gain: 145 lbs, same as last week... puts me at 20 lbs total so far.
Maternity clothes: Yes of course. Wearing a maternity sweater from Motherhood (donated by my wonderful friend Lisa), and ASOS maternity work pants, and a little belt I added for my new waist ;)
Stretch marks? Still nothing- lathering on that Palmer's every day!
Sleep: This weekend I was actually able to sleep 8-9 hours a night, but I did get a up a few times to eat some tums or pee, of course. Maybe I am starting to better adjust to rising and falling back asleep quickly, which will be good practice for when little man gets here!
Best moment this week: Getting to go to the beach with Landon in my belly. It was amazing to feel him respond to hearing the ocean waves for the first time. I could just tell he loved it. And getting to walk alongside the ocean with him every morning was so peaceful. I just feel like I'll cherish that feeling of him being content in my belly forever. And Landon was the star of the conference- his name and due date was announced to everyone by the head of the Council of Great City Schools, right after he asked me all about Landon in the elevator. Already getting so much love and attention!
Miss anything? This week it would have been nice to have a cocktail by the beach or after the conference with coworkers. (The fresh strawberry mojitos they were having the one night by the pool after the conference looked amazing!) However, I know it's all worth it to have baby come out healthy, and soon enough I'll be able to have a drink now and then. #pumpanddump
Movement: Yes, very regularly now. I'm especially loving how he is responding to outside noises. He even kicks harder and faster when I play fast music, which is so amazing if he's already a music lover. I'll encourage him to play any instrument he wants! We also experienced some pretty bad turbulence while on the plane this past week, and Landon did NOT like that one bit.
Food cravings: Chocolate Lucky Charms (so good! but probably not the best for us either, but oh well, it could be worse- keep reading...),bananas, and the other night I was dying for a hot fudge sundae. And totally indulged in one from Malley's! Baby definitely seems to like combinations of chocolate and milk/ice cream/dairy.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Seafood per usual. Colie's new dog treats also smelled horrible the other day when I opened the jar. And this is strange, but I was getting my teeth cleaned today, and the rubber gloves the hygienist had on smelled/tasted so bizarre. I've never had that reaction before!
Gender: Still BOY!
Labor signs: Nesting still, and asking Adam to clean things out too. For now, he's obliging even though he says it feels like we're moving.
Symptoms: Heartburn, dizziness, frequent urination, back pain, side abdominal pain.
Belly button in or out? It's popping out on the outside. So gross. I hate it!
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or moody most of the time: This week, happy. Being on the beach with Landon was amazing, and I'm also feeling more and more connected to my husband by the day. Between talking about a LOT after our birthing classes, to him holding my hand to guide me through the snow and ice so I don't fall, I just feel like like we're growing even closer by bringing this little one into the world, and it's an amazing feeling!
Looking forward to: Valentine's Day is this Saturday. Adam made reservations for a Japanese Hibachi dinner, and I can't wait for a date night out with him. This momma just has to figure out what dress she can wear to still feel sexy for her husband (despite being the size of a whale, haha).
Since we're 3/4 of the way there, I made a little collage of this journey so far, from the first week I found out (8 weeks- haha, a little late to the game) until now.
We've come a long way baby!!
