30 weeks

30 weeks, 1 day

(Celebrating the 3 siblings born on July 25th!)

How far along? 30 weeks, 1 days

Total weight gain: 17 lbs total

Maternity clothes? Still a size up..trying to not spend money on maternity clothes.  I went into the motherhood store and felt huge in everything!  

Stretch marks?  Not yet

Sleep: Good, although he is starting to kick me really hard in the ribs when I lay down for bed so takes me a little longer to fall asleep

Best moment this week: Celebrating Landon’s 30^th birthday in Seattle.  It was so fun staying downtown, eating AMAZING food again (the thing we miss most about Philly-well, besides our friends), and shopping.  We went on the new huge Farris wheel down on the pier which was fun-and weather was perfect-sunny and 75!  Pretty soon our family trips will be quite a bit different :)

Miss Anything? Not really, this week I feel so happy right where I am at

Movement: Tons.  I feel him stretching head to toe like he is trying to make some more room in there.  And I feel him get the hiccups about once a day (forgot to write this when it started happening, maybe around week 25??)

Food cravings:  I’ve switched up my ice cream to Tasty Freeze’s crunch cone-yummy!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks

Symptoms: HEARTBURN…

Belly Button in or out?  Out- really weird looking

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and blessed

Looking forward to:  Seeing the Such girls next week!!!  And Mikhail’s wedding!

How far along? 28 weeks, 4 days

Maternity clothes? Buying bigger tops and dresses and using rubber band on jeans   

Stretch marks?  Not yet

Sleep: Good!

Best moment this week: Well, highlights from the last couple of weeks (I missed a week) include: finding out our little boy will have a boy cousin to play with (Tyson and Brea are having a boy!  Little Zeke!), having a great anniversary including a surprise day at the spa-prenatal massage was amazing, having a fun 4^th of July boating up at Crescent Bar with the Chapman/Rosa family, getting crib put together, and celebrating the birthdays of Ashley, Ali and Liam!!!

Miss Anything? Core strength

Movement: Squirming all the time, still love it but it’s getting a little uncomfortable sometimes.  He’s so strong! ;)

Food cravings:  DQ!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Gender Prediction: I should take this question out…

Labor Signs: Apparently I have been having Braxton-Hicks contractions for a few weeks now…didn’t know that’s what they were until Ash informed me.  Doctor said it’s completely normal-just my uterus practicing for the real thing…yikes :/

Symptoms: HEARTBURN…

Belly Button in or out?  Pretty much out now- really weird looking

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!! I had two “feeling huge and hormonal” days but dinner with Ash cheered me right up!  Thanks Ash! :)

Looking forward to:  Celebrating Landon’s 30^th birthday!
