Happy New Year everyone! Steve and I celebrated with dinner and games at our church community group, then we were in bed by 10 :) It's been another week of crazy weather - frigid cold temps below 0 and lots of ice that I try not to fall down on!
I'm finding it more and more difficult to do my everyday tasks. Just trying to pick up a room will get me out of breath in a few minutes! I've slowed down a lot while walking around, especially later in the day. I've really focused on trying to get Zane's nursery cleaned and his clothes organized. It's getting there, very slowly! We have a lot of 6-9 months, but still need quite a bit in the 0-3 months size. Of course, if anyone knows me well enough, you know that I created a Word document with each size and how many types of each article of clothing! Zane has been very active this week - sometimes constantly moving throughout the day! He always kicks me when I lean over or if I'm sitting and leaning forward, as if to say, "stop squishing me!". Sometimes I poke him back ;) I also started working on my birth plan, as my midwife suggested. I feel really good about it right now - I feel empowered that I've done so much research and I may have some say in how the birth goes, even though I understand that it doesn't always work out the way that you hope or plan.
Zane should be about 15.5 inches long this week, and weigh about 3 pounds - boy he's growing fast! His grip should be strong enough by now to grasp a finger, and he's now surrounded by about a pint and a half of amniotic fluid. Now that he's able to regulate his own body temperature, he's also starting to lose the lanugo, or the fine hair, that has covered his body up until now.
Here's me at 30 weeks, along with our pet Ball Python, Houdini:
How far along? 30 Weeks
Maternity clothes? Pretty much all I wear
Total Weight Gain: I gained about 1.5 pounds this week - putting me at exactly where I was pre-pregnancy!
Sleep: Up a few times during the night to either use the bathroom, adjust pillows, or move the fan around since I get really hot at night. This week, the colder weather has made us put our heat up higher, and since we have radiators, it makes our bedroom very very dry. Even with a humidifier in the room, I've been waking up with sinus headaches because my sinuses are so dry :(
Best moment this week: Starting a new year with my amazing husband knowing that our little family will be growing this year :)
Miss Anything? I would love a cold turkey sandwich right about now lol
Movement: Very very active boy this week!
Food cravings: Fruity Pebbles lol
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smell of bacon cooking still makes me gag
Any other symptoms? Heartburn, fatigue, cramps, being uncomfortable lol
Have you started to show yet: I guess you could say that!
Gender prediction: All boy!
Labor Signs: Not yet
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On - no swelling yet
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: I can't think of anything in particular going on this week - I guess I'm always looking forward to my appointments with my midwife because I like making sure that everything is going well.
I did the same thing with the list of clothing items - except with excel!
