30 Weeks Update

30 Weeks Update.

  

How far along: 30 Weeks

Gender: BOY!

Weight gain: 11 lbs

Maternity clothes: Only and always.  I tried to wear on of my non-maternity dresses (one that I always thought "this is a little poochy and would look great when I'm pregnant) for Easter and ended up hurling it and several others across the room in tears.  Big, striped, Easter COW.

Stretch marks: One new one, just above my bellybutton.

Belly button in or out: It's safe to say it's out for the count.

Best moment this week: Finishing a 5k.  Yes, I walked.  Slowly.  So slow that I was the last person of our group (and probably the last of all registered participants) to finish.  But I only stopped once!

Worst moment this week: Being at work overnight a few nights.  I missed my Ben, baby and bed terribly.  

Miss anything: I long for the days when not everything I ate tasted like burn-y.

Movement: He is a party animal in there!  So often, my belly is lopsided because he is crammed all the way to the right.  Felix did the same thing.  Started getting the whole "THESE ARE ALL MY LIMBS" movement, where I feel a punch up near my ribs and a kick down on my hip at the same time.  

Cravings: Anything cold.  And getting my to do list down to a minimum.

Queasy or sick: Heartburn o'clock.

Mood: Pretty good.  I only wanted to stab someone in the neck with a shrimp fork a few times this week.  Once because a repairman wouldn't talk to me since I was a woman (it was my fault I was out of the kitchen in the first place) and a few people who just couldn't be bothered to say please and thank you (one of normal Christi's biggest pet peeves - pregnant Christi lost her shit a little over it this week).

Looking forward to: Felix's birthday party, birthday family lunch and actual birthday.  This week is crazy busy but at least it's all (mostly) fun tasks.
