Wholly Moley! I am 30 weeks, I honestly do not know where the time is slipping away to. In less than two months and one week we will be welcoming our baby boy into our family. I know my last post wasn’t the happiest of them all but I had to get it out there and honestly the next day I stumbled upon a great blog of a mother who was documenting her son’s cleft journey and it allowed the sun to shine through those dark clouds. There is hope, I have a great family standing behind me and I know he is going to be the most precious little man ever. The pregnancy is still going well, I finally started feeling pregnant, pregnant and the joys it brings with it about a month ago. I guess I cannot complain seeing as though I made it nearly six months feeling fabulous, I know. . . shoot me. Around twenty-seven weeks I took my glucose test and failed. I don’t know why, really. I had seen Dr. Pacquido that morning for our 4D and decided to call our babysitter around noon and headed over at 1:30 I hadn’t eaten or anything but I failed, miserably. I headed back that Friday for the three hour, which sucked! I think the glucose drink is thicker or something and having each arm pricked twice over three hours made for some fun times. Thank God for Soleil Moon-Frye’s Happy Chaos to help move the time along. I went in last week for my 29-week checkup and everything is still right on track. I still have a ninja kicking like crazy, my blood pressure is great and I have managed to keep my weight at a healthy level…Go ME! We still have a ton to do around our house to get everything ready, and honestly we have been concentrating more on turning Payton’s room into a big girls room vs. setting up the nursery. Luckily, we have a blank canvas going on in our office now turned nursery. The walls have a coat of primer and the carpet (remember our new carpet) is being cleaned for a second time to get out dye on Thursday. The crib will be picked up one day this week from my sister and I am still debating whether or not we should paint the furniture white or if we should keep it cherry. The bedding arrived two weeks ago and I am so in love. I cannot wait for y’all to see how great Katrina from Katrina’s Creations did on our custom set. Here is where our inspiration came from and it looks almost similar so let me know what you think as far as furniture color goes. The walls will be grey and one wall will have white and grey horizontal stripes like this.
Anyway…rambling as usual.
- How many Weeks: 30 weeks
- Weight Gain: 10 pounds according to my Dr. I think it’s more like 15.
- How big is baby?: the size of a squash and roughly 2.5-3.8 pounds
- Maternity clothes?: yeppers. But I am still wearing regular shirts and dresses.
- Stretch marks?: a few that have revisited from Payton.
- Sleep?: is a joke. I sleep from 4-7 am like a rock. I have the ever so lovely insomnia back.
- Movement?: he is a kung-foo ninja. I have a knee, foot or hand lodged into my hip at all times.
- Food cravings?: I am just finally hungry all the time now. Just normal yummy foods sound so good at anytime!
- Labor signs?: I had contractions for a while a week ago and almost went to the hospital. Once I started timing them they were 4 minutes a part for 30 minutes and then I just went to bed praying it would go away.
- Belly button in or out?: just chillin’ like a crater.
- What I miss: today we went to a winery and we purchased some white Merlot as my celebratory bottle once he arrives…I would love a glass or two or three.
- What I’m looking forward to: Our 4D on the 7th.
- Milestone: Entering the third and final trimester! yahoo!
- Big Sister: Gives my tummy kisses everyday while waving and screaming “Hi! Baby, Hi!”. It kills me. She is going to be a great big sister.
I’m so happy to hear that you are feeling happy again! You guys are going to be such a cute little family of 4. I can’t wait to meet Brayden. And seriously, 30 weeks already? Wasn’t it just last month that you told me you were pregnant again? Time sure flies!
The only maternity clothes I have bought so far (at 30 weeks) are jeans and work pants. I tried those elastic waistband extenders but didn’t really like them that much. Prefer to wear comfortable and Stylish Maternity clothes.
