30 Weeks .. 10 Weeks to Go!!

 



How Far Along: 29 weeks 6 days

Total Weight Gain: 15 lbs

Maternity Clothes: I'm preferring them more and more.

Stretch Marks: Nope! Fingers are still tightly crossed!

Sleep: People still do that? I sleep most of the night but every time I roll over my hips hurt and my sciatic nerve is acting up more and more.

Best Moment This Week: Definitely the ultrasound! It was so special in so many ways. One, my friend was our ultrasound tech, which was really cool cause we got LOTS of pictures. Two, it was so neat to see how, in the last 10 weeks, baby Keown has developed SO much and those CHEEKS!!! My goodness I'm in love. And last but not least, and probably the MOST special, is watching Josh's reaction as he watches our baby on the screen. It tugs at my heart strings a bit. He's so love with this baby, more so than I think he ever thought possible, and baby isn't even here yet. It's so so so sweet! I can't wait to see him with baby! He's going to be a great daddy!

Miss Anything: wanting to eat. I think I have gotten to a point where baby is putting so much pressure on my stomach, that I don't want to eat. I eat though. . . a lot.

Movement: ALL the time. I think I have picked up on when baby is sleeping, but for the most part, baby is all over. We saw that in the ultrasound. Baby was all over the place. While I was at the doctor this morning, the doctor actually commented that baby was having a party in there! Maybe the baby is having a sugar rush from the Captain Crunch cereal I ate at 10:30p last night!!

Food Cravings: Still Junk and Fruit! I ate a 12  count box of those red white and blue popsicles in about 3 days.. the first night I ate 6!! Good thing they only have 35 calories each!

Anything Making You Queasy or Sick: Nothing that stands out. Meat is not  my friend still.

Gender: Even after 30 minutes of taking pictures at the ultrasound on Wednesday, it still remains a mystery!

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: Heartburn, heartburn, heartburn! Some pelvic pain/pressure. And frequent trips to the bathroom. The baby's head wasn't even an inch away from my bladder! Mercy!

Belly Button In or Out: Still somewhat in, somewhat out, but seems to out a little bit more.

Wedding Rings On or Off: Still on!

Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Happy :O)

Looking Forward Too: Getting the nursery completed (hopefully done next week), minus the bed. It's being custom made by my dad. I got a sneak peek of it last night and it's GORGEOUS!!!

In other news:

I went to the doctor this morning to have a fetal fibronectin test done. It's to test if there is a hormone around the cervix that could be a sign of pre-term labor. The doctor said that there is no need to panic and that if it is positive, it just means I'll be seen more often, if it's negative we'll just stick to our scheduled appointments that are currently every 2 weeks until I get to 36 weeks (at that point I'll be seen weekly). So no biggie, just precautionary steps to make sure that me and baby are getting the best care possible! I SHOULD have the results this afternoon, but it may be Monday! Keep ya posted!
