Week 30!!!

WEEK 30

Baby weighs 3 pounds...can you tell she's grown??! 

How far along? 30 Weeks, 5 days

Total weight gain: 15, I weighed at 147 at docs office yesterday
Maternity clothes? still maternity jeans and leggings, some maternity shirts, mostly my own clothes. But my shirts sure are stretching lol
Stretch marks? not on the tummy
Sleep: it takes a while for me to fall asleep because of so much there is to do the next day! I have been trying to sleep early but it doesn't always happen, if I do, I end up thinking for bout 30-40 mins. Plus still waking up to go to the bathroom....I think I'm being prepared to wake up 3-4 times a night. But for now I enjoy throwing myself right back to bed :) Won't be like that in about 10 weeks...eek! :D
Best moment this week: Going to childbirth classes. Got so much information! It actually opened our eyes that the time is almost here and that we needed to make some big decisions. We are now doing the birth here so Wyatt can be with us the whole time and so we stress less with so many transitions. We also decided to change our doctor and hospital. Seeing her next week. We also finally found an apartment to move to! We got a great deal in a neat place and we are upgrading to 2 bed and 2 bath! We are super happy about it because we ain't braking the bank (we thought we would end up paying a lot more) and even though it's not as cheap as we would like, there are perks: its bigger! baby girl will sleep with us at first but we will  have a room for her and for her stuff, we also are on the first floor as oppose to the third one, YEAY!, and we are closer to food marts and such, Wyatt is closer to work (for me it'll prob be just another 5-10 mins drive to work) and we have friends that live in the same complex :) We also will keep having a washer and dryer, and now have a bigger patio, bigger closets, and the complex has pool and gym and it's really pretty!

Miss Anything? Energy, so tired! We are actaully to be moving the weekend Sept 8-10th and I have boxes all over the apt and I just sit there sometimes and pretend it's all going to magically pack tself lol. Also breathing. I am out of breath all the time!
Movement: Lots! And I love it, she has days where she just chills. I enjoy when Wyatt comes home and we can tell she knows because she says hi! So cute :) She already loves us I can feel it!
Food cravings: fruits and sweets (I don't think this is going to change) lol
Anything making you queasy or sick: some meats, I have to make sure I don't see any blood or ..it's just not good. But other than that...just gotta make sure I eat otherwise if I'm too hungry I'll get nauseous.
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I bump into stuff more than usual, my balance isn't the best already but it's getting worse lol. Also, she takes my breath away- literally. And back pain...and it's only going to get worse.
Belly Button in or out? in but flatter
Wedding rings on or off? on - fitting perfectly in the morning and a little loose during the day
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and excited, sometimes anxious and nervous, but we are two happy girls :)
Looking forward to: maternity pics Saturday, packing (I know, but I actually do like to pack because I know we will be in a new apt soon!) then Baby Shower in SoCal the following weekend! Wooohoooo!!!!!!! Of course, moving :) AND starting my 8th month next week!


From baby2see.com:

	Week Thirty: Baby puts on pounds
	You are 30 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 28 weeks) Baby measurements are 16 inches and weighs about 3 pounds. Length is 40cm and your baby's weight is 1.4 kilograms. The head is almost 3.5 inches (8cm) in diameter. The feet are nearly 2.5 inches (6cm) long. The wrinkled skin is becoming smoother now. In boys, the testicles have moved down to the groin. The baby controls its own body temperature. For several months, the umbilical cord has been the baby's lifeline to the mother. Nourishment is transferred from the mothers blood, through the placenta, and into the umbilical cord to the fetus. Their bone marrow is now responsible for red cell production. These red blood cells will continue to service your child's body by transporting oxygen and removing the wastes. Your baby begins storing iron, calcium and phosphorus. The fetus now weighs about 3 pounds (1.4kg). He or she will gain about half a pound a week until week 38. Baby is getting fatter and beginning to control its own body temperature. Baby continues to put on fat stores and the major weight gains will occur in the coming weeks. Eyebrows and eyelashes are fully developed, and hair on the head is getting thicker. Head and body are now proportioned like a newborn. Hands are now fully formed and fingernails are growing. Can be seen on ultrasound scans grasping their other hand or feet, this is helping with nerve development. Eyelids are opening and closing, and will often make rapid eye movements - a sign they could be dreaming. You may be starting to experience some swelling of your ankles and legs. If you have not experienced any swelling yet, it is highly probable that you will, as approximately 40 to 75 percent of women will experience mild swelling related to pregnancy. Your uterus is now about 4 inches (10cm) above your bellybutton. It may feel like you are running out of room as your uterus grows up under your ribs. However, your fetus, placenta and uterus will continue to get larger, you still have 10 weeks to go. The average weight gain during pregnancy is 25 to 35 pounds (11.5 to 16kg). About half of this weight is concentrated in the growth of the uterus, the placenta, the baby and in the volume of amniotic fluid. At this point, you should be gaining about a pound (500 grams) a week.
