30 Weeks


How far along? 30 Weeks
Total weight gain: 23 lbs... yep, that's 3 lbs in 1 week! Thanks heat & humidity. 
Maternity clothes? Still rocking stretchy shirts & leggings/shorts when I can! 
Stretch marks? None yet... using tons of creams for my itchy belly!
Sleep: Umm... not so great anymore. 
Best moment of the week: My mom & I spent Friday hitting up the city wide garage sales trying to get some of the more expensive things for baby! It was a long day with record breaking heat but we had a lot of fun! I got some really nice/barely used stuff for a great deal like a new baby swing (4 mos old), a play mat, and a moby wrap (barely used for only $5!) It takes the sting out of those really expensive purchases when I get some stuff used! 
Miss anything? The list is growing... but it is all going to be worth it! :) 
Movement: Tons! I felt like baby boy flipped out of position because he's been so active the last week or two... turns out he just had a huge growth spurt and every kick is painful now! 
 Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really... just sticking to smaller meals.
Gender prediction: Boy.. I really should remove this question!
Labor signs: None 
Symptoms: I still have tons of mid/upper back pain due to muscle spasms and now rib pain (only on the left side due to him kicking them all day) & still having round ligament pain. 
Belly button in or out? Out a little 
Wedding rings on or off? On so far but I am sadly going to bite the bullet & take them off soon...or they may have to be cut off! 
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy! And sore. :)
Looking forward to: Can I still say finishing the nursery??... cause we're not even close!

  1. You may be swollen but you look great!
    Awesome with garage sale deals I'm having all my baby stuff in a sale this week. Hoping someone else sees them as great deals.
    Wishing you a happy 10 more weeks.

  2. Suzy, I know that when some of my friends have had to take their wedding rings off, they've gone to WalMart and bought a cheap ring in a bigger size to replace it. Then they keep the ring for any other pregnancies. I wasn't sure if having your wedding ring off is a worry of yours, but I thought it was a cool trick to share!

  3. I haven't had any swelling at all this pregnancy. . . until this week! This heat is killing me. I had really bad round ligament pain, but a maternity belt really helped a lot. And I'm not done with my nursery either! Don't feel bad!

  4. I am new to your blog! I love it! I met you though Katie @ Pincushion Creations & glad I did. I love your chalk board. I have a secret found love for chalk boards and chalk! We have a whole wall painted as a chalk board in our kitchen and I recently made a carry along one for photo shoots! Your belly bump is way adorable. And, I loved the finding out the sex of your baby with the cakes. So, so neat. I wish I would of thought of things like that when I were preggers with our son. Boys are so much fun and I wish you and your husband all the love and luck, much happiness here on out. :) Come say hello!
