Time is flying by!

  • How far along?: 30 weeks.
  • Total weight gain: 37 pounds. Sad, Sad, Sad. Yes, I gained 7 lbs in 2 weeks! EDIT: I have decided our home scale is evil.. at my 30 wk appt, we discovered I had not gained that much after all. 6.4 lbs in 3 weeks is better.. not great news, but better. Whew.
  • How big is baby?: 16ish inches long, nearly 3 pounds! Its amazing to me that Baby Girl is only 3 1/2 inches (or so) shorter right now than Rylan was when he was born!
  • Maternity clothes?: I have sworn off pants and shorts or anything that would require having elastic around my belly. I am living in dresses and comfortable skirts these days. While in the hospital with Vicky in labor, I sent Andy back to their house to get a pair of very stretchy sweat pants for me to change into because my maternity jeans just do. not. fit. anymore! Ugh.
  • Stretch marks?: Belly is still free of stretch marks! Woohoo!
  • Sleep?: Still struggling, though I have been waking to pee less and less, which is helpful.
  • Best moment this week?:  Being with Baby Rylan and my sister, for sure! The frozen yogurt Andy and I had last night comes in a close second though! ;)
  • Movement?: Her little kicks and jabs have turned into big pushes and rolls and somersaults! I think I felt hiccups for the first time this morning, too! She was just jumping (best way to describe it) very rhythmically for a few minutes.
  • Food cravings?: Cheese Tots. Frozen Yogurt (after last night). Still BLTs with cheese, too. 
  • Labor signs?: None. Thankfully.
  • Belly button in or out?: Still sticks out at the top. I've grown to like it. :)
  • What I miss: Vicky, Kevin, and Rylan! PG related: Sleep. Sex. 
  • What I'm looking forward to: We have an appt tomorrow, and although I am worried I'll hear "the weight talk", I am excited to hear her heartbeat again and we will start going every 2 weeks after this one. Also looking forward to seeing Vicky and Rylan Thursday or Friday, of course!
  • Milestone: 30 weeks! Eep.
I'll have belly pics to share later, as well as our maternity photos.
