30 weeks


Today I'm just over thirty weeks...only 10 to go! Time has really been flying by lately, especially knowing there is much to do to prepare for this baby.

I've seen pregnancy surveys on several blogs, so I thought I'd include my own to share some more info about how I'm feeling...

How far along: 30 weeks 2 days
Size of baby: About 3 lbs, 15.7 inches long
Maternity clothes: I am slowly collecting them and generally wear mostly maternity clothes when we go out. For work, the scrubs I wear are one size larger than I wore pre-pregnancy. At home, I still wear my old sweatpants and Bryce's t-shirts (though I'm not sure how much longer those will last)!
Movement: I feel her move at several random times throughout the day, but pretty consistently when relaxing after dinner and while lying down to go to sleep at night. I feel kicks and punches on the sides of my stomach. Today the Dr. said she believes the baby is head-down, but I'm still feeling jabs on both sides.
Sleep: For quite awhile now I've had to fall asleep on my side (I was always a stomach-sleeper). I hug a big body pillow, which makes things relatively comfortable. Lately it's been more challenging to flop my big belly from side to side throughout the night.
Symptoms: The worst symptom I've had so far was severe heartburn Monday night. It was hard to sleep, even when I propped myself up with lots of pillows. Last night was back to normal, so fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again! Aside from the one bout of heartburn, I'm still feeling well. My joints are a little achy if I stand for long periods of time.
Best moment of the week: Getting our nursery painted! Thanks again Viki!
Food cravings: None lately.
Labor Signs: Not so far. I have some Braxton Hicks contractions occasionally, but no pain.
What I miss: I won't lie, I miss the occasional glass of wine! Also, sushi. I've (easily) convinced Bryce to take me for sushi and wine directly after I deliver this baby :)
What I'm looking forward to: Decorating the nursery. I'm browsing to get ideas and hope to start soon!
Next appointment: June 1
