Baby 3.0 - Week 31

How far along? 30 weeks

Weight gain/loss: +17

Maternity clothes? Yes please.  

Stretch marks? No new stretch marks, just varicose veins.

Sleep? I want more than I get.      

Best moment this week? We hit 30 weeks which means 3/4 of the way there. Most likely a little closer since the girls were both born before their due dates.  

Movement: The bigger he gets the stronger the movement gets. He also seems to like vogue-ing because he will move and then hold the pose for a second while making everything stretched out and lopsided.    

Food cravings: Still sour cream. And chocolate.   

Gender: Boy :-) 

Labor signs? A few contractions here and there when I've slacked on drinking my water.  

Belly button in or out? Depends on the day.  

What I miss? Sleeping on my belly, rolling over and getting out of bed easily and being able to take something stronger than Tylenol for a headache. 

What I am looking forward to? Organizing his things and packing a hospital bag. 

Weekly wisdom: A wise man once said, "I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is I that I know nothing." Plato, The Republic

30 Weeks 4 Days

How far along? 30 weeks 4 days!
Weight gain/loss: As of my last appointment last week I am up 10lbs. Not too shabby.
Maternity clothes? All day, every day.
Stretch marks? The only place that's escaped the wrath of the evil stretch mark is my belly... go figure.
Sleep? Has been easier the last few weeks actually.
Best moment this week? Sunday I got a prenatal massage. The spa had a pregnancy pillow attachment for the bed and I was able to lay on my stomach because it had a cutout for my belly. It was fantastic!
Movement: I swear I felt her completely flip from transverse to head-down. It was the weirdest feeling, not like the normal movement and now I am feeling her move in different places than before. I guess we'll find out if that's really what it was at my next appointment.
Food cravings: Still nothing consistently, but when I do want something... I want it NOW.
Gender: Girl
Labor signs? Nope!
Belly button in or out? Half in, half out. Sometimes I can see the top part through tighter shirts, but mostly it's still in tact.
What I miss? Laying on my stomach.
What I am looking forward to? Finishing the nursery! We NEED to find a dresser!
Weekly wisdom: Enjoy everything, even the nausea and dizziness and cankles.
Milestones: 30 weeks! There are only single digit weeks left!
