30 Weeks


How far along? 30 Weeks - less than 10 to go. WOW! 7 weeks until I am "full term" 
Due Date: Aug. 23rd (not soon enough!)
Total weight gain: Hmm not sure. Around 30
Maternity clothes? Trying to find a dress to wear to my shower next weekend. This could take a while...
Stretch marks? none yet - using body butter every night! 
Sleep: Not too bad. Lots of naps!
Best moment this week:  There were tons of good moments this week. My first year of teaching came to an end, we painted the hallway and nursery (and by we, I mean Gary and Brian!), ordered new carpet for the 2nd floor AND attended fun Daddy Boot Camp and Survival Skills For New Moms classes!! So many new and exciting things! 
Miss Anything? nothing comes to mind at this moment - I do miss dying my hair dark.
Movement: 10 kicks in 2 hours? We have that beat - try 100 movements in 20 minutes!! This little nugget was going crazy last night. :) She must be excited about the new nursery paint color. 
Food cravings: Depends on the day and time...
Anything making you queasy or sick: 
Gender: Female (let's hope - the nursery is pink!) 
Symptoms: Starting to feel braxton hicks contractions - just a little bit. Sometimes I can't tell if it's a contraction of if she's sticking her butt out.
Happy or Moody: Happy! 
Rings: off
Belly Button: 1/2 in 1/2 out
Pregnancy Pet Peeve: "are you due TOMORROW?" 
Looking forward to: My shower and seeing all of my friends and family!!!!!
