Every Two Weeks

I cannot believe that this Thursday coming marks 30 weeks pregnant. I cannot believe I'm at the point where I can see body parts moving around inside of me. I cannot believe that less than two months is full-term. I cannot believe that I'm now at the point where I'm seeing the midwife every two weeks. Time is absolutely flying by and is going to keep moving ever so swiftly. I want to meet this baby so badly and there's not that much time left until he/she is here.

How far along?  29 weeks last Thursday! 

Total weight gain/measurements: No clue, actually. I haven't weighed in in a while. 

Maternity clothes: Yup. 

Stretch marks: Nope. I've been using a combination of the following, but also I pretty luckily have some good genetics. My mom got saggy from three pregnancies, one with twins, but she never got stretch marks.

Cocoa butter, as part of my morning routine.

BioOil, as part of my evening routine.

Sleep: I'm now being woken by baby movements. Previously, baby was keeping me awake, but I could sleep through it. Now, no way. This kid likes to kick when I'm sound asleep at 4 am. 

Best moment this week:Making some serious nursery progress! I'm very excited about this! 

Miss anything? Not particularly, this week. Except maybe sleeping on my tummy. I've found myself attempting to sleep on my belly as much as I physically can. It involves a lot of pillow finagling that I seem to do in my sleep.

Movement: Always. 

Food cravings: Nothing in particular. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not really, except for the early morning teeth brushing. But that's been uncomfortable since the beginning. 

Gender: Unknown, still! 

Labor signs: I experience what I think was my first ever contraction yesterday morning. Not so much of an ouch, but tight and ache-y. It was unexpected, for sure! 

Symptoms: Still heartburn. And weirdly nice skin. 

Belly button in or out? Still in. I'm wondering how long this innie will be hanging around for. 

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! 

Looking forward to: My next ultrasound! Coming soon!
