30 Weeks

So I put my photoshop skills to the test and edited out my stretch marks ( You wanna fight about it?)

How far along: 30 Weeks 5 Days


Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was up 5lbs at my last apt.

Maternity Clothes: I don’t have to worry so much about looking presentable now so it’s just whatever I can squeeze into and still be comfy.

Stretch Marks: I think the one above my belly button is getting worse.

Sleep: I’m starting to get up more throughout the night and I guess it was just Braxton Hicks but I was really uncomfortable and up for several hours Sunday night.

Movement: I’m not getting the same kinds of kicks and punches these days just seeing a lot of rolling in my belly and my ribs have been rezoned as a foot rest.

Food Cravings/Aversions: I want sodas and coffee so bad but I’m trying really hard to avoid another gall bladder attack. I think I may look into getting some diet root beer since it is caffeine free and I won’t have to worry about the sugar either. Maybe some decaf coffee too since I don’t really need a caffeine pick me up it’s more about the smell and taste.

Gender: Girl

Belly Button In or Out: It looks like a slight dimple right now.

What I Miss: Being able to take something for a headache and this isn’t really baby related but I want all the bad food that the gall bladder has restricted me from.

What I am Looking Forward To: Well right now I can’t say I have a lot going on since I was laid off from my job Friday afternoon. It’s bittersweet since I needed some rest but I would have really liked to have worked at least another month but the good news is I have plenty of time to prep for the baby getting here, I don’t have to worry about fitting into clothes and looking decent for work, I can be barefoot, and if I have a bad night and I don’t sleep well no big deal because I can sleep in or take a nap.

Weekly Wisdom: I’m really drawing a blank here and it probably isn’t going to get much better considering that I won’t have a lot of human interaction for the next couple of weeks. I guess I'm just going to work on just being me for awhile. Since Friday I've been feeling kind of down and useless and did not realize how much of my life that my job consumed. Things just seem weird right now since I've worked since I was 17 and now I'm just here.

Best Moment This Week: I think the highlight of my week was eating the campfire smore blast from Sonic, sad but true.

Here is this weeks educational moment:

      Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face.
