How far along: 30 weeks Size of baby: About the size of a cucumber (see photo to right)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: up about 8 pounds from pre-pregnancy - still on track for my goal to only gain 20 pounds total
How I'm Changing: Nothing drastically different this week. Still not sleeping really well but I'm sure that is just bound to get worse as I get bigger.
Maternity Clothes: Same place as last week - still rocking my 3 pairs of maternity dress pants and about 7 different long sleeved shirts... I end up wearing the same outfits pretty regularly. I did finally break down yesterday and bought a couple more tops at Target just to help with the rotation.
Gender: baby boy
Movements: He has more active days and some that are less active.
Sleep: Not good folks. I wake up at least twice usually - often more than that. I find that I tend to roll onto my back when I sleep and then I wake up not feeling great so I am working on a pillow fort to keep myself from doing that. I'll let you know how that works :-)
How I'm feeling/Symptoms: Tired and uncomfortable. Trying to just suck it up though since I know it will likely just get worse over the next 10 weeks. I already feel like I'm waddling around the hospital.
What I Miss: nothing new... red wine, sushi
Cravings: still really into the chocolate - thin mints, ice cream, oreos, whatever... also, I found sweet tarts gummies at Target - they are delicious!
Best Moment(s) of the Week: Nothing specific - I've just been enjoying feeling baby boy move around. B and I also did a massive cleaning spree last weekend so I'm enjoying the cleanliness of the house.
What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On: Well I finally called to get set up with a pediatrician. I really like this one office that has like 6 MDs and an NP. They meet all the criteria I had wanted (separate sick/well waiting rooms, evening/weekend hours, ability to schedule same day emergency sick visits, off hours call back from same MD group) and when I called to set up the prenatal forum appointment the office staff person I talked with was SUPER friendly. So all good signs. Now I just need to call my nanny candidates and get them to come for an in person interview.

it's gonna be due date so Soon! Whoa! And hey, I'm sorry to hear about your sleep - but you seem to be still productive and doing your best to grow a healthy baby, so props! also, when/if the time comes for us to have children, I'm TOTALLY going to be picking your brain on pediatrician stuff. I've never thought of separate sick/well waiting rooms! You're a genius. I'll be praying for you and hubby both - and baby, too! - these next ten-ish weeks. :)
