30 Weeks

How Far Along?: 30 weeks

Total Weight Gain?: 19 lbs (no weight gain at my last appointment!!)

Maternity Clothes?: Yes for much needed comfort. I still wear a few non-maternity shirts, but pretty much all my clothes are maternity – thanks to friends and family for donating!

Sleep?: Pretty much sleeping, except when I have the potty breaks…

Best Moment this Month?: Hmm….Bon Jovi!! BG’s baby shower :); getting past the 30 week mark…

Movement?: Yes! She is like a little alien in there! I have come to believe that BG is my little reassuring child….I tell her she needs to move a little for me and she does 🙂

Body Changes/Labor Signs?: Contractions here and there

Belly Button in/out?: it changes – it moves around when she does as well

What I Miss: being able to demonstrate dance moves without looking like a munchkin from the Wizard of Oz…

What I am Looking Forward to: BG being here! Maternity pictures this week; shopping for a pediatrician the next 2 weeks; a friend’s baby shower; and a wedding! A busy next two weeks!!

Next appointment in 2 weeks where I will have a non-stress test, ultrasound – all that good stuff. I am very excited about seeing BG on ultrasound again! Heartbeat was good – 145, no swelling, blood pressure was low (98/60). Dr. Helmken felt a little foot when she was measuring my uterus 🙂 Now if the next 2 weeks will just fly by I will be happy!
