30 Weeks!

Today I am 30 weeks pregnant - only 10 more weeks to go!

Pregnancy Highlight:

Size of Baby: Baby H now weighs almost 3 pounds, about the size of a head of cabbage and measures 15.7 inches long from the top of his head to his heels!  

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I don't really know but now that I'm going to the docs office every 2 weeks, I'll figure it out at my next appt.

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: All I know is the doctor said baby's heartbeat sounds great!

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: We are having a BOY!

NAME: I think we are finalizing the name but I'm not posting it on here yet.

Movement: Yes! Yes! Yes! It's the most amazing thing. He's a squirmier and I think he's crawling right up into my rib cage.

Sleep: Sleeping great other than getting up to pee and it's so much more difficult getting out of bed lately.

What I miss: Besides being able to do what I used to do, my energy! I have lots of intentions when I get home from work but I seem to just plant my rear in the couch and don't get up to do what I want, like clean the bathroom or clean out some cabinets that I want to do before baby comes.

Cravings: Chocolate Shakes - definitely! I'm sure this is going to get worse starting tomorrow because I have to go on a low carb diet and what I can't have I'm going to want!

Symptoms: Starting to get some lower back pain. It mainly happens at work because I'm sitting so long so I have to make sure I get up and walk around, which I'm usually going to the bathroom about once an hour, but I need more movement.

Best Moment This Week: Lots of excitement this week. We celebrated Tom's 40th birthday this weekend, it was supposed to be a surprise but see my previous post on how I blew it. It was a great night and I can't believe he's 40, that means I'm not too far away - 3 years! I also pampered myself on Saturday, first with a haircut and color, then a pedicure and manicure. It was well needed and I really enjoyed myself. I'm hoping for at least one more before baby comes. Or maybe two. And last but not least I started going to the doc every 2 weeks and I went Monday. Baby's heartbeat was great and my doctor asked if I knew what we were having and I said a boy, she was like "you're going to love having a boy" she was telling me about her little boy who is 3 and how sweet they are and they just love there mommas. I can't wait to meet my sweet boy.


And just a quick picture of my hubby, it's his 30 week picture too. LOL I'm so proud of him, he joined WW last week and he lost 5 pounds. Now if we can just get downstairs to exercise.
