timeline of the bump.

how far along?  30 weeks {this pic was just a tad delayed, a bit over that mark}!  the baby weighs about 3lbs. and is practicing her breathing!

weight gain:  25lbs.  a one pound weight gain since my last appointment.  i was a bit scared of that scale!  this pregger lady’s anxiety!

maternity clothes?  a mix.  i love my work maternity pants.  i bought two cute maternity dresses.  otherwise, it is a blend of regular clothes and maternity pants.  i still rock the kiddie leggings of mine, an essential piece in my wardrobe!

sleep:  i figured out that if i sleep a little later in the night, i’m more apt to sleep through the night.  phew.  it’s helped a lot.  I sleep straight through and it feels so great!

physical state:  well, i am borderline anemic.  some of the effects are sleepless nights, clumsiness {oh yeah…i’ve been dropping stuff like it’s a contest i have to win}, & feeling tired.

miss anything?  sushi.  wine.  coffee.

baby movement:  oh, she’s a kicker!  she is getting stronger by the day.  she swirls, kicks across my stomach, smushes herself into a ball on one side of my belly {the pressure is a bit uncomfortable}.  she dances after i eat.  and now she hiccups.  at first i wasn’t sure what it was but then i realized since she ‘practices’ her breathing, it causes her to hiccup.

food cravings: hmmm, not really craving anything specific.  i’m eating regularly.  i snack a lot, i love mott’s fruit snacks, luna bars, & nutrigrain bars.

bump status:  big tummy!  feeling fussy and round.  although the belly feels way out there, peeps have been so kind in their compliments.  a pregnant lady makes everyone around her so super friendly!

gender reveal:  it’s a girl!!  it’s been really fun lately!  i’m really enjoying the cute little outfits, decorating her room {hopefully i will post a sneak peek soon!}, and getting to know her better and better becoming a little lady in my tummy.
