Weekly Bump Update: Week 30

How far along: 30 WEEKS!!! Ya'll! I am 30 WEEKS PREGNANT!! Holy canoly! How did that happen so quickly?!?!

Baby size: Cruz is as big as a cucumber! (Obviously, the length! Hopefully he's a lot thicker than a cucumber! ha!)

Weight gain: I've gained some weight, yes. Let's say right above the 20 lb mark.

Maternity clothes: Oh yeah! All the time!

Stretch marks: Still clear of those, thank goodness!

Sleep: I think this week might have been my best week of sleep ever! It's been really, really good lately! Let's keep it up!

Gender: He's still a he!

Movement: All day, every day!! He's a mover!

Best moment this week: Getting my mommy-mobile is definitely up there, but the shower was amazing! Even with the crappiest weather ever, only a few couldn't make it so there was such a great turn out! We were spoiled like crazy and it was so overwhelming! But we are so grateful! I will do a separate post on my shower soon.

Looking forward to: Getting the nursery put together!!!

Food cravings: Fruit, fruit and more fruit.

Weirdest food I ate this week: Can't really think of anything weird...

Anything making you queasy/sick? Nope!

Labor signs: Negative!

What I miss: Painless walking...bleh.

Symptoms: Just tired mostly. Swollen fingers. Random aches and pains. And wondering with that whole "nesting" thing starts to happen. My house could use a good cleaning and organizing. ha! 

Nursery: Well we sold the futon, so that's will be out of there this week! Yay! And Ty is off after tonight, so his job is to get the rest of the stuff out. :)

Belly button in or out: Neither. It's just part of my belly.

Mood: Wonderful!!!!

Workouts: Yeah...with this crappy weather, I didn't make it to the Healthpark (3 days this week it was closed before I even got out of work) or the gym upstairs. I just needed a break and enjoyed going home after work.

Things that suck: Not pregnancy related, but all this snow and freezing cold weather hasn't been much fun lately...

Things that don't suck: The incredible baby shower my sisters and mom threw for me on Saturday!! It was so cute and we felt very, VERY loved!!!

More pictures from Week 30:

Blueberry pancakes for breakfast Sunday morning!! I think I could eat them everyday! 

My poor swollen fingers. Wearing my graduation ring from my parents instead of my wedding bands because they aren't even close to fitting right now. 

 My new car!!! Eek!! Love it! Ty's so glad I listened to him because we got one heck of a deal! ha!

 

Super excited driving it home!

 

 Ty wanted to take my 30 week bump picture like this, so we did! ha!

 

Too. Much. Snow. Yuck!

 The frozen fountain outside of my window...

And for funsies, Week 20 compared to Week 30! Wow!!! We've definitely grown!!!!!!!!!

Weekly Bump Update: Week 29

How far along: 29 Weeks!! Holy crap, I'm almost 30 weeks! That's nuts!

Baby size: Cruzer is the size of an Acorn Squash! (That's 15.2-16.7", in case you had no idea, like me. :))

Weight gain: Right under the 20 lb mark...

Maternity clothes: Most definitely! I can still wear a few of my regular pants to work, with a rubber band. They aren't the comfiest, but I have a lot of navy shirts and I can't wear that with black pants. Ew.

Stretch marks: Not yet. Thanks to Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lotion!

Sleep: It's still pretty good! Still wake up a lot to flip on my other side, but I can usually fall back asleep pretty quick.

Gender: He's still a he!

Movement: Constantly!!!! and getting a lot stronger. Sometimes it's a little painful, but I'll take it!!

Best moment this week: The baby shower my co-workers threw for me!! It was so nice!! Everyone got us the sweetest gifts and were just so generous! I felt very loved! :) (And techinically this shouldn't be added until next week because it happened on Sunday, but buying a new car was pretty dang exciting!!! I'll post pics next week! :))

Looking forward to: Still working on getting my "mommy-mobile"!

Food cravings: Still been wanting fruit a lot this week! I've eaten applesauce straight out of the jar a few times!

Weirdest food I ate this week: Saturday night I made cornbread and had tuna salad and applesauce! haha nice!

Anything making you queasy/sick? Nope!

Labor signs: No way, Jose!

What I miss: Still miss just walking around without any sort of pain. Didn't realize how nice that was until it was gone! ha!

Symptoms: Definitely hit that tired phase again. Everyday after lunch I want to take a nap, and really think I could.

Nursery: Slow moving, but it's going. Since Mom can't come to paint until March 7th, I'm not too worried about it. It'll get done!

Belly button in or out: Neither. It's just part of my belly.

Mood: Pretty good!! Sleepy!

Workouts: Only got in 2 this week, but I'll take it!

Things that suck: Just all the aches and pains. My fingers are swollen all the time, so I've had to stop wearing my wedding bands. :(

Things that don't suck: My baby shower coming up on Saturday!!! I cannot wait!!

More pictures from Week 29:

My cute cake at my work shower!

Cruz and I (and Ty) were very spoiled by my co-workers!

Nursery definitely needs to be cleaned out because we are running out of room in the guest bedroom! 

All of my fleece jackets I wear to the gym are being stretched to the max!! Eek! 

Suprise gift in the mail from my friend, Meg, from work! 

 Test driving some "mommy mobiles" on Saturday! (Can't wait to share what we ended up getting!!)

Moved some of Cruz's stuff to his closet for now. These are just the clothes that came on hangers and my big shower isn't until this weekend! We're going to need to add another rod in the closet and/or get a very large dresser!!! 

Lexie snuggled with me Valentine's night since Ty was working. :)

How far along: 28 Weeks!!

Baby size: Cruzer is as big as an Eggplant!

Weight gain: Right under the 20 lb mark...

Maternity clothes: Most definitely! and comfy yoga pants at home!

Stretch marks: Keeping them at bay with Palmer's stretch mark cream and cocoa butter lotion.

Sleep: Enjoying it as much as possible. Sleeping mostly on my right side. I can't fall asleep on my left usually because he hops around like crazy in there!

Gender: Still a boy!

Movement: Yes, yes, and yes!!! He's just like his daddy! Can never sit still! ha!

Best moment this week: Getting to shower Lindsey and baby Savannah on Saturday and seeing so many friends that I don't get to see often enough!

Looking forward to: Getting my "mommy-mobile"! ha! We are working on that at the moment, so hopefully soon!

Food cravings: Smoothies and fruit! I've been all about some strawberries, grapes and apples this week.

Weirdest food I ate this week: Nothing really weird that I can think of.

Anything making you queasy/sick? Nope!

Labor signs: No.

What I miss: Walking with no pain. ha! I'll survive though.

Symptoms: Starting to hit the tired phase again. And still having the normal aches and pains that come along with being pregnant, nothing too bad though.

Nursery: Ty's slowly getting it cleaned out. :)

Belly button in or out: Flat. Can I just say flat? ha!

Mood: Really good!!

Workouts: Got in 3 again!

Things that suck: Still annoyed with getting a side cramp when I walk too fast or too much. It's just annoying. And it's always just on my right side. Weird...

Things that don't suck: My co-workers are throwing me a shower this afternoon!! Very excited for that! :)

More pics from Week 28:

Strawberry Banana smoothie at work on Thursday!! So good!!!

I earned a free drink from Starbucks!! So I got a Venti Decaf Iced Skinny Caramel Machiatto. ha!

Weekly Bump Update: Week 27

How far along: 27 Weeks!!

Baby size: Cruz is as big as a Rutabaga!  (yeah, totally didn't know what that was until I saw a picture on TheBump app!)

Weight gain: I think I've gain a pound or 2 since my last appt. Fine by me.

Maternity clothes: Oh yes! Tonya gave me a bunch to borrow and they have been a lifesaver! Thank you, Ton Ton!!

Stretch marks: I feel like I can faintly see some on the sides of my belly so I keep adding Palmer's Cocoa Butter religiously!

Sleep: Sleep is good for the most part. Can't really complain too much about that.

Gender: Boy!

Movement: Constantly! And then the second I think, "oh, I haven't felt him in a little while", he moves! haha It's like he can read my mind. :)

Best moment this week: Spending the weekend with Ty! Taking advantage of it while I can...he'll be working a lot the next month.

Looking forward to: Getting my "mommy-mobile"! ha! We are working on that at the moment, so hopefully soon!

Food cravings: I guess ice cream. When I passed Coldstone Saturday and knew I couldn't pass it up...I guess that would mean I was craving it!

Weirdest food I ate this week: Can't really think of anything...I had chicken and rice soup with a baked sweet potato for lunch one day. Is that weird?

Anything making you queasy/sick?  Not that I can remember...

Labor signs: No. But I think I'm having Braxton Hicks contractions every now and then. My belly just gets super duper tight, but I don't really feel anything, so I'm not 100% sure. This is my first time at this, so I have no idea! ha!

What I miss: Running! I never thought I would, but I do. I hear some songs when I'm on the elliptical or in my car and it reminds me of running outside last spring and summer and it makes me want to run. Not so easy to do right now though...so I guess I'll have to wait until after Cruz is here.

Symptoms: General aches and pains that come along with being pregnant, nothing too bad though.

Nursery: Work in progress. Mom and I set a date to paint though, March 7th! yay!

Belly button in or out: Very very stretched!

Mood: Pretty good, I think!!

Workouts: Yep, made it 3 times again this week. I hope to keep this up for the next 10 weeks! If I can make it up until the day I give birth, that would be great, but we'll see how I feel.

Things that suck: Side cramps when I walk too fast. Like, really??? Ridiculous!

Things that don't suck: Getting to celebrate my friend, Lindsey and her baby girl, Savannah that is due just 2 weeks before Cruz, at her baby shower coming up this Saturday!
