How Far Along: 30 weeks and 5 days
Total weight gain: When I got on the scale this week, I had lost the 2 lbs I'd gained last week. Oh well.
Maternity clothes: I'm still very much enjoying my new t-shirts at work. I especially like them because I look pregnant instead of just a fatty, which is how I look in regular scrub tops. And perfect strangers are noticing...like the woman manning the check-in desk at the Family Birth Center. A nurse and I were going to a stork squad (we get called to all c-sections, babies born at less than 36 weeks, and anytime the baby's having issues) and when we walked up, she said, "Oh I thought you were coming to deliver!" Um no. Not for another 10 weeks. Thanks. Another day, I got on the elevator with some scary construction worker dudes and I did my best to just stare straight ahead and not engage them. But I could see one of them eyeing me and he was like, "When is your baby due?" I said October 10th. He said I would have it on October 3rd because that's his birthday. He also said I was going to have twins. I don't think I look that big, but I apparently haven't been looking in the right mirrors.
Sleep: My bladder clock has decided that 2:15 is the time to wake me up to pee. And then I can't go back to sleep for about an hour. My brain wakes up and I can't help but think of all the things I have left to do, how the labor is going to go, how breastfeeding is going to go, etc. I usually fall back asleep about an hour before I have to get up. No fun!
Best Moment this week: Seeing Amelia in all of her 3D/4D glory on Tuesday. She was so good and she looked beautiful! It was a relief to hear (again) that everything looks great. Definitely a relief.
Movement: Lots of kicks and punches!
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time!
Belly button: Innie
Cravings: Nothing specific. I have more things that I absolutely do not want these days.
Nausea: It hasn't really been an issue this week...thank goodness!
What I miss: Getting through a day at work without sweating for 90% of it. Yuck.
Stretch Marks: Present and accounted for!
New/Weird Pregnancy Symptom: When I'm sitting in a chair, I am not comfortable unless I am sitting semi-reclined. My back just hurts way too much when I sit straight up or lean forward.
Weekly wisdom: Tums Smoothies are my new best friend! Thanks Ginnie! While they still leave a bad taste in my mouth, they are a lot less chalky and more palatable.
What I am looking forward to this week: Going to our childbirth education class tomorrow at the hospital. I'm looking forward to learning a lot of stuff I had no idea about. I know Thomas is just as excited....right.
