How far along? 30 weeks, 6 days (30w4d in picture)
Total weight gain/loss: I was still +13lbs at my 29 week appointment so there has been no change from my 25 week appointment weight wise. I asked the doctor if I should be concerned but she said no. So, I guess baby is all good. I thought for sure I had gained quite a bit because my belly is getting bigger by the day! :)Maternity clothes? Yes!
Stretch marks? No!
Sleep: I still sleep quite soundly, thank goodness. I'm a side sleeper naturally so that has made it that much easier. Flipping over has become quite the production though...haha! And I'd say 4-5 out of 7 nights I do have to get up to use the bathroom, usually within an hour of my alarm going off.
Best moment this week: I passed my glucose screening test! Yay! I received a lot of advice about that test regarding eating or fasting beforehand. Turns out, most of the advice came while I was already sitting in the waiting room....so what was done was done. Lol. In case you're wondering, I actually had about a 3 1/2 hour "fast" before I went. Seemed to work out fine for me. And for the record, I actually liked the Orange drink...it was like McDonald's Hi-C on steroids.

Also, last night we got to hang out with some friends from church. ALL of us are expecting! Tiffany, on the left, is due with baby #1 (boy) in 5 days(!!!), Paige is due with #2 (boy) about a month before me, and then there's me, due March 29! There was definitely a lot of pregnancy and baby talk going on! :)
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss anything yet? Being able to shift/change positions quickly and comfortably.
Movement: I feel a ton of movement, especially at night of course. Baby has clearly had a preference for my right side the last couple weeks. I can always feel something moving from the outside too and I'm not sure if it's a leg, arm, or what! I'm so curious!
Food cravings: Besides Culver's shakes, this week it was definitely Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I could have had it for every meal. No joke. I resisted, but the urge was there! I've always liked cinnamon toast crunch, but not that much. Haha! I stocked the fridge with many more healthy options this last grocery trip so I've actually been eating relatively well, just a handful of CT Crunch here and there. ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick? The fact that I have to finish one more grad class before baby comes... Actually, I seem to have hit the jackpot professor! Only two, relatively short papers to write. And, I like the class. :)
Have you started to show yet: No, I still feel so thin! HA HA. YES I am clearly showing! My students have said everything from "you're huge" to "it looks like you swallowed a bowling ball"! I take them all in stride. Obviously growing a human being is going to cause some outward growth. :) And though I absolutely love my big belly, I did almost cry when Brandon and I looked back at my 4 week "day we found out" picture. I was a stick!
Gender prediction: I'm still clueless. Not even an inkling of an idea. However, there are 10 couples in our birthing class...5 having boys, 2 having girls, and 3 surprises. If you do the math, that means we're having a girl since the ratio is like 49% to 51%. Haha!
Labor signs: Nooooo thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? I'm coming out...I want the world to know, got to let it show. Yes, my belly button has officially crossed over part time. Depending on where baby is positioned it can be in or out. Hey, at least Kelly Ripa said outie belly buttons were going to be the body part of 2015. I guess I'm on trend. ;)
Wedding rings on or off? On, but I did leave them home for church. My hands swell up so much during the service!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and more and more excited to meet this little person!
Looking forward to: Baby showers! :)
