Bumpdate: Week 30

Again... Im late. I figure you all should just get used to it at this point. The post is always written, I just never upload the pictures. So it always ends up being a few days into the new week that the previous week goes up. But hey. I think I have a good excuse for my laziness. Im growing a human. 

How far along? 30 weeks. Holy crap when did that happen.

Maternity clothes? I have been wearing the crap out of my new hoodie. I love it. Its so comfy and so stretchy and no matter how large I get, it keeps on fitting. Love that. Im actually really excited about my outfit for our baby shower this weekend. Its just a little black dress, but everyone knows that little black dresses make everything better. So I am really looking forward to that. And I got cute ballet flats, a size up to allow room for my ginormous feet, and a new necklace. I like this outfit haha.

Sleep: Oh man, sleep. Its really not been bad. I sleep about 4 or 5 hours and then my hips wake me up and of course once my eyes open I have to pee. So yah, but I usually make it a decent amount of time before getting up. The last few nights have been rough because little man has not been nearly as active through the night, which of course results in a semi panicking me. Nic just keeps reassuring me that his habits are changing because of his size and that as long as he is active throughout the day I have nothing to worry about, but I guess its the mama instinct in me that just panics a little bit. 
New this week: Little man moves from the outside now. Nic says it looks like boiling water haha. But you can make out his little movements if I am leaning back on a chair or the couch or where ever I happen to be sitting. It makes him seem so much more real. That is if the huge stomach, swollen feet and aching hips didnt make him real enough haha. But his little movements are just so distinct and cute. His little elbows and his but are what I make out the most. But he is just a cute little man. I can't wait to hug that little face for real. I've hit that ancy point this week. Im just ready for him to be here and for us to be able to snuggle and love him like we so badly want to. But I keep reminding myself that this season with Nic is also so sweet because it is the last time that it will ever just be the two of us. So we are trying our best to just love on one another and to be together as much as possible. 

Best moment this week: I had my regular doctors appointment this week. The practice that we are using has 6 doctors total and the one that I saw this week has a bit of an accent and is super sweet but very blunt and straight forward. She was doing my measurement on my stomach and feeling to see where little guy is positioned and while feeling around she commented, "oh nice size baby." Then she measured my belly and gasped a little and said "ohhh big baby!" my mom and I laughed so hard at that one. 
Also we scored a swing for little man at a really good price on our neighborhood's classifieds page. And the people we bought it from actually rewired it that it can be plugged into the wall so we wont have to spend a fortune on batteries!!! 

 

Miss Anything? Being able to move around and go up the steps without being completely out of breath. I so miss being able to be active and breathe normally. The bigger he gets the more I notice it. So Im looking forward to being able to exercise. 
Cravings: Oranges. Lots and lots of oranges. In any shape size or fashion. I just want oranges. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular. We are feeling pretty good these few weeks.

Wedding rings on or off? Still half and half.
