30 Weeks

We're 3/4 of the way there! I have to say, I'm glad to be getting close to the end. This whole pregnancy thing is starting to get a little old. I'm ready to hold my baby! Since my last post we've made some more progress in the nursery. We (Brian) found a glider on Craigslist for $30! It's in great condition, we just need to recover the cushions to match our color scheme.

We had an appointment today with my doctor. He took some measurements and got a couple 3D pictures of her face. I was a little disappointed because the pictures aren't that clear. She wasn't cooperating and kept putting her hands in front of her face. We got a little glimpse though!

Our maternity pictures are supposed to be this coming weekend (Thank you Caitlyn & Emily!). I wish I had scheduled them for this past weekend. The weather was gorgeous! Of course rain is forecast for this weekend. Hopefully that will change by Sunday.

30 weeks - getting bigger!

How far along: 30 weeks 5 days

Cravings: Anything and everything! I'm not picky at all these days, though I do crave sweets and fruit constantly.

Sleep: Not so great. Between bathroom trips and just being uncomfortable I'm only getting a couple hours of uninterrupted sleep at a time these days. I guess I'll be ready for all those sleepless nights once baby girl gets here!

Movement: Lots! She's doing more pushing and stretching than kicking now. It can be kind of painful sometimes, especially when she pushes her head or her little bottom out against my belly. The past couple days I haven't felt quite as much moving around. We found out at the doctor today that she's breech which can keep me from feeling as much movement. We were assured she still has plenty of time to flip, and my belly will continue to get abused :)

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, heartburn/indigestion, exhaustion, and back/sciatic pain. I also noticed some swelling in my feet for the first time the other day. It was finally warm enough to wear flip flops, and I went shopping for a few hours. I think wearing tennis shoes at work every day has really helped prevent swelling up until this point.

Belly button: Still an innie, but getting much more shallow.

Weddings rings on/off: off-I have a stylish replacement I got for $13 at Charming Charlie's.

Mood: Happy/excited/nervous about getting closer to the big day.

Missing anything? Comfortable sleep

Best moment of the week: Seeing our sweet baby's face at the doctor's today. Even though she didn't give us very good shots, it was still so exciting to get a little glimpse of her facial features.

Baby's growth: As of today, our little girl weighs 3 lbs 3 oz. She is 15 to 16 12 inches long. She can react to touch, sounds, and light.
