29 & 30 Weeks

How far along? 29 & 30 weeks. I apologize, between my laziness & traveling i decided to squish the 2 weeks together. We will see how much i can remember, as i mentioned i post (typically) on the last day of my week so right now i'm actually 2 days into week 31.

Total weight gain: Ok, i've been debating whether or not to reveal it but i have to right? I've hit the 30 lb mark. OUCH!
Maternity clothes? How could i NOT being this size?!? As those who see me daily will attest to, i pretty much live in my XL man sweats from wal-mart (hey, they are fleece lines and SUPER warm & cozy!) while at home and when going out i am always in leggings. I have other maternity pants but i just can't beat the leggings, they are SO comfortable.
Stretch marks? Yeppers
Sleep: Sleep is OK. I will not venture to complain about it this time, i have enough other things to complain about. On average i'm up 2 times a night, but i can't sleep alright.
Best moment this week: I don't know why but this is always the hardest question for me...i can always think of "worst moments" easily. It was awesome going to Fargo & kicking back & seeing family & friends. AND those awesome loved ones whipped out 5 baby blankets & 2 crib sheets for me. The bumper pad is half done, so that was uber exciting to almost have the baby bedding complete!
Miss Anything? I'm just gonna group it all together and say "i miss everything!" Nothing feels normal anymore, not a standing\sitting position, movement in general, food, ect., ect. I even went back on my anti-nausea meds because after only being off them for 2 weeks the nausea returned, FULL force. Mornings have been really hard again, it basically takes me til about 11am to get together & ready to go anywhere or do anything.
Movement: YES! It's been quite fun & entertaining to watch my belly morph into various shapes and twitches. He seems outta control sometimes, and it's funny to watch. It also fun to play "name that body part" by feeling the really hard parts of my belly and the squishy ones. Also he gets the hiccups more often now, at least twice a day usually.
Food cravings: Again no, but chocolate has been my latest craving of sweets. If im going for a treat it needs to be chocolate!
Anything making you queasy or sick: What doesn't?! Just being pregnant, THAT is what is making me sick!
Gender: Still a boy
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Been having a little reflux issues again, probably because i am stretched to the MAX for room. I have been having a good amount of contractions, but nothing consistant or regular. Minor swelling. A LOT of muscle cramps besides the return of leg cramps at night. Also quite a bit of hip\low back pain the last 2 days, hopefully a chiropracter will help with that! Huffing & puffing whenever i as much as move a finger, although i did find out that i'm anemic so the breathlessness\wore outness could have something to do with that.
Belly Button in or out? Still in limbo...but still more of an innie.
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happily uncomfortable =)
Looking forward to: I don't know if i can mention it without having a panic attack, but getting to the STILL un-touched nursery. Also in 1 week i will hit my next milestone of 32 weeks. That brings me to my next doc appt, and after that point i will be seeing the doc every 2 weeks instead of every 4. Then in 3 visits is when we get to peek at the little guy again and figure out (hopefully) the birth plan\strategy from there. Basically at this point i know time is going to FLY! I'm down to the single digits left for my weeks. Count em down folks - i'm in the home stretch with 8-9 weeks left to go!
