30 Weeks

How far along? 30 weeks

Total weight gain: 35 lbs. although I've probably lost a few after enduring the stomach bug the last 24 hours

Blood pressure: 118/80...higher than usual

Baby's heartrate: 140-150 bpm

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions, leg cramps and as of last night the stomach bug! YUCK!

Body changes: my face is getting fatter, my hair and nails are growing out of control, my skin is perfectly clear and I am enjoying that, and as for my hips...they will never be the same

Sleep: trying to catch up


Best moment this week: hearing baby boy's heartbeat on Monday

Movement: sometimes he just goes crazy in there moving his arms and his legs real fast at the same time. Not good for my ribs, but fun to watch!

Food cravings: I don't want to talk about food right now.

Gender: BOY! He doesn't have a name yet, though.


What I miss: I have not felt very well for a lot of this pregnancy so I would say I miss feeling normal.

What I am looking forward to: 5 p.m. and a three day weekend

Weekly Wisdom: I recently discovered that you can find cute maternity clothes at Ross

Milestones: only 10 more weeks and most likely less than that. On average, babies at this point are 15.7 inches long and about three pounds. We'll see just how big he is when I have my 36 week ultrasound!

Confessions of a Working Mom: Let's just say Operation Clean is beginning at my house tomorrow before the health department turns me in.

No pictures today. Not a good day for pictures.
