how far along: 30 weeks, 3 days
size of baby: a cucumber {15.2-16.7 inches, 2.5-3.8 pounds}
gender: all pink around here!
weight gain: 23 pounds as of this week…
maternity clothes: of course! although I lucked out and found a super cute non-maternity dress at Express last week that I was able to wear to my baby shower!
stretch marks: keeping them away with my Mustela cream!
rings: on, but still feeling a bit tighter…
nursery: it is amazing that a space can go from empty to completely crammed in one weekend! we are so grateful for our friends and family that showered us with love and gifts this weekend! hoping to get it all organized this week! we even ordered the rocker this weekend too!! 🙂
movement: I’m not sure if this girl ever sleeps! I notice her all throughout the day doing gymnastics or something in there!
symptoms: still just breathlessness and back pain…the back support I got helps when I’m up and about doing things, but isn’t comfortable to sit with it on at all.
sleep: is still pretty good, but I notice its taking me longer to fall back asleep after I get up for the bathroom…just getting used to spending more time awake at night I guess!
cravings: still loving sweets!
aversions: nothing in particular…
what I miss: I’m pretty content right now! so much excitement and we are getting closer to B-Day! can’t miss too much!!
best moment this week: my sister and sister-in-law did an amazing job throwing me a baby shower this weekend {with the help of our moms}! the decor was beautiful, the food and desserts were delish and we couldn’t be luckier to have such wonderful and generous friends and family!! more on this in another post, but here’s a sneak peek! 🙂
looking forward to: getting her nursery organized and big items out and together {like her car seat}! also getting our tree tonight and doing some Christmas decorating! we’re also doing some baby classes this week {we did “breastfeeding for success” last night}. making everything seem more real – only 67 more days to go!!
