THIRTY WHOLE WEEKS.
I'm having a baby in 10 weeks!
Time seems to be going by a little faster now. I don't know if it's James' new schedule or the warm weather or the fact that this baby being here in 2 months seems a lot more real than 9, but I want time to slow down and hurry up all at once!
I can't wait to hold this little one and kiss her baby cheeks.
I can't wait to see her with her daddy and to start this new adventure as our new little family of four. (including Hank the dog)
How Far Along? 30 weeks.
Size Of Baby? The length of a cucumber, about 16-17 inches tall! Only a couple more inches to grow. She weighs around 3-3.5 pounds, and will continue to put on about 1/2 a pound every week until she is born.
Symptoms: The third trimester is definitely the hardest so far! Heartburn, minimal sleep, weird dreams, and the ever so loved morning sickness has returned. Not to mention weight gain and swelling! I'm definitely ready to get this baby here and take a little (or long) pregnancy break!
Weight Gain? Around 27 pounds. My doctor says I can expect to gain about 10-12 more before the baby comes. Joy.
Maternity Clothes? It's all that fits me, IF it even fits me! Some of the maternity clothes I bought earlier in my pregnancy don't fit anymore. But WHAT DO YOU DO.
Cravings: Cafe Rio salad, chicken salad, wraps, grapes, cream of wheat, really anything salty!
Mood: Uncomfortable. Is that even a mood? I feel so uncomfortable all. the. time. Tight clothes, big belly, swollen ankles.
Movement: Every single day, all day. I get more powerful distinct movements now more than kicks. I feel her tiny body parts, like her heels, elbows, and fists move across my belly. She will push her heel into me, and when I push back she moves. I love it!
Sleep: Haha
Best Moment This Week: Feeling stronger movements, and realizing I only have 10 more weeks to go!
Looking Forward To: My baby shower in 2 weeks!!! I can't wait to finally feel ready for her to come. Also, I now see my doctor every 2 weeks!
New Developments: She is losing her lanugo, the coating of hair babies have to keep them warm, because she is now chubby enough to keep herself warm! And she is strong enough to grasp a finger!
^CHUBBY FACE, so swollen!^
