30 weeks

Far Along: 30 weeks

Fruit or Veggie of the week: Cabbage

Size of Baby: 17 inches, 3 and a half pounds

Total Weight Gain/Loss: After the holidays we have gained about 30 pounds.

Gender: Benny Boo is a boy. :)

Movement: Holy cow this kid is strong. The movements have been different this week because it is not just jabbing/kicking movements. I can actually feel his heel rubbing against my uterus from the inside and outside. Truly amazing. He has been getting the hiccups about once a day. Poor lil' guy gets the hiccups every time I drink a little bit of Sprite.

Stretchmarks: Putting lotion on my belly daily must be helping because we are doing good with this.

Sleep: What is that? Just kidding! This winter break has my sleep schedule all screwed up. I have been taking naps daily but staying up late, sometimes getting up in the middle of the night...very irregular!

What I miss: Even though there are some things I miss, they are minimal compared to all of the things I have gained.

Cravings: Oranges are still a must. I have eaten 1-2 oranges every day. My palette is still needing spicy stuff. Good thing the heartburn has been okay this week.

Symptoms: Unnecessary crying...over stupid stuff. Swelling is still okay unless I wear above the ankle socks.

Best Moment this Week: My mom, Barbi, and I made some sugar scrub for the baby shower. It turned out really well.

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out: Stuck in the middle. :)

Looking forward to: Breastfeeding/prenantal classes this week. The more I know the better I feel.
