And another week down....30 weeks

I feel like I have reached a milestone!  30 weeks means less than 10 to go. 

As if the quickly approaching due date isn't proof enough that Dominic will be here in no time....we have started to receive baby gifts in the mail.  We have the most generous family and friends and feel blessed that they want to help us get ready for the big day. 

Last Wednesday was my birthday and my last monthly OB appointment.  My next one will be in 3 weeks (April 12) and then every 2 weeks after that.  The appointment went really well.  The doctor told me that the baby is already head down and ready to rock.  He must take after his Mama when it comes to getting prepared for big events. :)  We plan, plan, plan ahead.  His heartbeat was around 155 bpm and I am measuring right on track for my due date.  All is running smoothly.

How far along?  30 weeks (and 3 days)

Baby’s Size: 15.7 inches


Baby’s Weight: 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage)

Weight gain/loss:  Up 14 lbs total....went to the doctor last Wednesday and they confirmed it.


Sleep: Sleeping a little better as long as I have at least 30 pillows :)  I seriously need to be completely surrounded at this point

Symptoms: The frequent Braxton Hicks contractions have started to show the outline of the little one.  It is amazing to me that I can already see the shape of his body and identify body parts (kinda...I am of course just guessing)

Labor signs?: Nope. 

Movement?: Daily

Belly button in or out?: In

Food cravings/aversions: Add Sloppy Joes and Mac and Cheese to the list
