I was trying to hold my dress back so the belly profile would be better……and it looks more like I’m holding myself because I have to go to the bathroom, LOL. This is why I don’t hold my belly for pictures! Also, remind me to never take a picture here at this spot in our living room b/c the lighting is awful (this was at about 10 o’clock at night, so there was no natural lighting).
How Far Along: 30 weeks, 6 days
Size of baby: about 15.7 inches long now and almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage).. (according to www.babycenter.com)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: It really hurts to put this out there but……31.5 lbs. Geez!! I'm not sure why, but with each pregnancy I have gained a little more than the last. This is both funny and sad, but I weigh more than Rhett does right now (although he has unintentionally lost some weight recently and he’s on the lower end of his weight spectrum). I am dreading having to try to lose this extra weight. I did Weight Watchers online to lose almost 30 lbs from Aubrey and that was painful! Dreading it!!
Movement: All of a sudden this week, she is moving like crazy. I tried to take a nap the other day and couldn’t b/c she wouldn’t be still!
Sleep: Not great…the usual!
Symptoms: Wednesday, I took the kids out to the outlet mall to get shoes at Stride Rite and I couldn’t resist getting pretzel bites with cheese dipping sauce……jalepeno cheese. Then for dinner we had PW’s patty melts (pretty much a hamburger) and I put pepper jack cheese on mine……so more jalepeno cheese. That night, I had awful heartburn that not even my beloved Pepcid Complete could help! I tried sleeping propped up on pillows but that is not very comfortable so I didn’t get much sleep. Then on Thursday, I had an upset stomach almost all day. I was so tired and tried to take a nap, but I got more heartburn from one mini Twix I ate! Sheesh! By Friday, my stomach felt much better and I got a good night’s sleep with no heartburn! I guess my stomach did not like all the jalepeno cheese I had eaten….note to pregnant self! Besides that, it has been much of the same.
What I miss: feeling normal and being able to bend over comfortably, ha!
Cravings: nothing in particular this week
Best moment this week: Friday when my tummy felt better!
What I am looking forward to: working on Reese’s room…..and I don’t mean getting it all cute. I mean just getting the boxes of “baby stuff” unpacked!
