30 Weeks...

and 70 days to go!;) It's flying by. Had my doctor's appointment this week and found out that I haven't gained as much weight as I thought I had....so that was good news. My glucose test came back great and I am done with all my blood work now...Yay!!!!:) Getting closer to the home stretch.

I've been in full on nesting mode this week. Rearranging furniture, throwing/cleaning out everything, randomly painting things...it's been REALLY fun for Trav!;) Other than that, I am just moving a little slower these days and sleeping less and less each night....:tear:

My family baby shower is this coming Sunday and my baby work shower is August 15th! Can't wait!:)


How far along? 30 weeks.
Total weight gain: 18lbs...that sounds better to me!;)

Symptoms: Just plain feeling H-U-G-E!

Maternity clothes? Everything and even moving into a bigger size on most things now.

Best moment of this week: Hearing his heartbeat.

Food cravings: Tomatoes, Feta and as ALWAYS chocolate.

What I miss: Being able to bend over without being out of breath afterwards!:)

What I am looking forward to: My baby showers!!!!:)

Your baby's the size of a cucumber!

Your 15.2- to 16.7-inch, 2.5- to 3.8-pound baby continues to grow.

your baby at 30 weeks

• His skin is getting smoother.
• But his brain is getting wrinklier -- to make way for all that essential brain tissue.
• He's now strong enough to grasp a finger!

29 weeks, Belly Shots and Happy 30th to Trav!:)

Finally got around to taking my 7 month belly shot...today...on Travis' 30th birthday!:) We went to see Batman last night and Landon was moving and kicking/punching. I am not sure if it's the noise...Travis seems to think he is already a Batman fan!;)

I've had a whole bunch of people notice this week (mainly in public) that I am pregnant. Really? at 7 months? Maybe they finally feel comfortable about saying something. If you ask me, I feel HUGE. Like can't see my feet, have to have Travis buckle my shoes, takes 10 minutes to get my pants on and off HUGE!!!:) But, I appreciate the people that say that I don't look like I am 7 months....I definitely feel it!:)

How far along? 29 weeks.
Total weight gain: 20lbs!!!

Symptoms: Just plain feeling H-U-G-E!

Maternity clothes? Everything.

Best moment of this week: Feeling all of his strong movements....love it!:)

Food cravings: Tomatoes????

What I miss: Ahi Tuna.

What I am looking forward to: My next doctor's appointment this week. Love hearing that little heartbeat!:)

Your baby's the size of an acorn squash!

Baby already measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long. Right now, we weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds but he's still got a ways to go -- can you believe he'll triple in weight before birth?

your baby at 29 weeks

• He's getting a little cramped in there, since he's growing so fast. But you probably already realize that, since you're getting all those jabs and kicks.
• He's growing white fat deposits under his skin, and his energy is surging because of it.
• Feel a subtle twitch? It might be baby hiccuping.

Maternity Pics

We decided to be brave and use our new camera to take some maternity pictures. We've been playing around with it lately, trying to learn how to use it the right way. So after reading up on how to do some tricks we felt confident to try to attempt our own maternity shoot. Travis took all of the pictures of me and my mom was nice enough to come out and take some pictures of Travis and I.

We walked around downtown Milford looking for spots. Most of the pictures were taken under willow trees right by the river across the street from our house. I am really happy with how they turned out. I am also happy to check that off our list and have it done before I get much bigger and even more uncomfortable....especially since these were taken in 90 degree heat!;) We tried not to look like we were sweating our butts off in the pics. What do ya think?
