Bump It Up - 30 Weeks

How far along: 30 weeks.

Gender: Boy.

Weight gain: 25 lbs - I'm getting a bit self conscious about the weight gain. It is really starting to show in places other than my belly.

Maternity clothes: I got the maternity clothing in for the wedding/showers. Other than that I'm still wearing all my normal clothing with a belly band.

Stretch marks: Not yet. 

Belly button in or out: In & out. It hasn't popped yet, but after a big meal it is more an outie than an innie.

Work Outs: Riding the stationary bike some, and walking the dogs now that the weather is so nice.

Sleep: Not bad. I'm really hoping I can keep getting some good sleep through the third trimester.

Best moment this week: Our extremely relaxing weekend.

Worst moment this week: Not being able to breath because I don't have any room.

Miss anything: Beer and sauvignon blanc.

Movement: Yup. Brandon has been able to really feel him moving lately. It is so amazing to share his movement with Brando.

Cravings: Cheerios, watermelon, and banana snocones. 

Symptoms: I'm having trouble breathing because the kiddo takes up so much room. I've also got some foot and back aches.

Nursery: Our curtains are up! The nursery is slowly coming together. The rocker was delivered, but during delivery it got marked up. So, it is no longer here. I'm pretty bummed because I am so looking forward to seeing it all together in his room.

Looking forward to: A wedding this weekend! Should be fun, and I bought a pretty dress to wear. I just hope I still fit into it no problem. 

Bump It Up - 28 Weeks

How far along: 28 weeks, third trimester, home stretch! It makes me feel like we need to get stuff down.

Gender: Boy.

Weight gain: 24 lbs - Just a guess since my weight jumps around daily.

Maternity clothes: I just bought a couple of dresses online for a wedding, and my baby showers. I'm now up to a total of 3 maternity shirts, and 4 dresses. I'm wondering if I can make it through this whole pregnancy without 1) destroying some of my regular clothing 2) buying any pregnancy work attire.

Stretch marks: Not yet. 

Belly button in or out: In & out. The top half of my belly button is an out the bottom however refuses to pop and is still holding on strong.

Work Outs: Some. I've been doing a much better job of working out these last few weeks.

Sleep: Not bad. 

Best moment this week: Playing top golf with my lovely husband and parents. It is so much fun!

Worst moment this week: The leg cramps.

Miss anything: Beer, champagne, and sushi. I have a standing order for sushi in the hospital from Brandon. 

Movement: Yup. Out little man is a mover and a shaker.

Cravings: The usual suspect - Panera everything bagels with chive & onion cream cheese. Lately I've been obsessed with carrots dipped in roasted red pepper hummus, and watermelon. I also finally got a banana snocone! Now I want another!

Symptoms: I've been having some crazy painful calf cramps in the middle of the night, and my hips are starting to get pretty darn sore. 

Nursery: We picked up the curtains for the nursery, and Brandon scored us a nice discount on our chair! He is a champ of deals, and I'm so thankful for that.

Looking forward to: Meeting our sweet little boy. With less than 90 days till our due date this has been on my mind a lot.
