30 Weeks!

Little comparison-- 30 weeks with Lucas! Wow I look so young!

How far along? 30 weeks! 
Total weight gain/loss: 17-18#!
Maternity clothes? all the time-- love all my maternity clothes-- so comfortable! wearing lots of my short sleeve maternity shirts that I wore at the end of the Summer with Lucas with normal non maternity cardigans though! Also bought a mens north face jacket at the thrift store for 20 bucks! this should get me through the end of December-- then Tim can have it!! Couldn't think of spending 60 bucks on a maternity jacket for only 2 months!
Stretch marks? still none! using my belly butters religously!
Sleep: waking up even more-- hips are starting to get a bit sore lying on my sides, rotate back and forth a lot with my boppy wedge! and when I get up at first I am starting to waddle a little bit! 
Best moment this week:  Lots of great moments! My parents coming-- my mom helping wash a ton of my sisters old baby boy clothes and Lucass old clothes, blankets, sheets, burp cloths etc, and we got all our baby tubs organized, and the nursery is now pretty functional-- about 1.5 days of hard work! (thanks mom!) Having Tim home for 10 days in a row! can't believe it! it really helped a lot and relieved me of some of what I normally do - he even cleaned like crazy (and cleaned the carpets - hooray!)! and kept Lucas occupied with my Mom and I were organizing! Taking family photos/maternity photos! Having our 30 week baby check up-- baby boy's heart rate in the 140's, measuring right on track, and scheduled our official C-section due date (if I am not in labor prior!) and lastly having my sister and brother in law and their 3 boys come down for the day to play and spend the day in Hutch-- lots of fun happening around here!
Have you told family and friends: Yes! we are not telling anyone our name til he is born though (we haven't even come close to deciding on a name yet!)
Miss Anything?  having a beer every now and then, have been craving a bud light with olives!
Movement: still lots of a movement, but a little less than the last 2 weeks, seems a little less forceful, i think baby has changed positions or just running out of room to kick me hard! Now you can really see my stomach moving from the outside, rolling back and forth! pretty fun to see!
Food cravings: hot chocolate, buffalo wings/sauce, cereal -- i feel like i haven't been eating half as much as veggies as I with Lucas
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Had a little nausea the past few days, but also just had the flu shot, now it seems to be subsiding!
Have you started to show yet:  Yes! measuring at around 29-30 weeks! 
Gender prediction: allll boy
Labor Signs: Braxton hicks have now decreased which I am quite happy about!!! Haven't had the extreme tightening now for a few weeks! Much easier getting around on busy days when I can breath normal. 
Belly Button in or out? out and still very odd, its almost like its disappeared to a small dot now. so so strange!
Wedding rings on or off? On still no swelling!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Much less stressed about baby  now that the nursery is more organized! It feels so good to have that all done! 

Looking forward to: putting some finishing touches on the nursery, a fun weekend ahead with a kids halloween party tomorrow night, one more pumpkin patch on Sunday where we will pick out our pumpkins and the carve them on Monday! and then a fun halloween next weekend in Grand Forks! Should be fun and exciting next few weekends! Also looking forward to the holidays and being extremely pregnant-- perfect time to eat lots and lots with the excuse of being pregnant!! :)
