30 Week Belly Post

How far along: Holy Smokes I am 30 weeks already! 10 more weeks to go!!

Size of the baby:  Around 15.7 inches and 2.75 lbs. About the size of a cabbage.

Total weight gain/loss: I gained another 3 pounds at my last appointment for a grand total of 22lbs. 

Maternity clothes: The Belly is HUGE! So I had a few of my super AMAZING friends hand me over some of their maternity cloths to hold me over the next few months. It is starting to get hot so I have a feeling dresses will be my fav! I did purchase a few maternity t-shirts and tank tops at target that I could technically wear after pregnancy,  so I don't feel too awful indulging in these. I am still managing to wear some of my shirts but I am running in to issues with some of them not being long enough for the bump. =( So thanks to my friends I am set!

Cravings: Sweets! Which is very strange for me. I have never been one to like a whole lot of sweets but I find myself dreaming about a chocolate chip cookie or a cupcake from one of the many DELICIOUS cupcake shops in Houston. I think the over abundance of sweets at all these showers lately has created a monster!

Symptoms: Feeling pretty good! Josh is amazed at my energy these days and I am still sleeping really well. Sometimes he has to tell me to take it easy because I feel like I could move mountains with all the energy I have. I am seriously getting things done around this house and the nursery is moving right along.  I am almost done with Alexander's room and now I am just working on the finishing touches. I have also washed, hung, folded all of his cloths that we have so far. As you can tell I have been on a huge organizing kick since we have been back home. Especially because of all our AMAZING shower gifts! Target and the Container store have a very loyal customer on their hands and if Alexander were to arrive tomorrow we would be pretty set. =) 

Movements: I feel like his movements are becoming more real these days and by that I mean, his movements are more in waves. For the first time it really feels like there really is a baby in there. I can't get over how real his little feet feel when they move around and I could sit and watch my belly take on different shapes and sizes all day long.  I love feeling him changing positions and at night its not uncommon to wake up to a very active boy. But in a crazy way it puts me right back to sleep because his movements are soo sweet and gentle.  His movements are nothing short of amazing and I kind of understand now how women say they miss it once its gone. 

Gender predictions: BOY!
