30 weeks!

Sleep: I am crazy tired lately. 

Best moment this week: Having a couple of days to sleep, and leaving for Florida to lay on the beach and take some pressure off my legs in the pool on Friday! 

Movement: He's always moving around, but now there's the rolling, and that's super weird! I'm having to count now, and so far he's an overachiever. 

Food cravings: Oreo Mcflurries...

Food Aversions: None really. 

Gender: A sweet little boy!

Labor Signs: a few Braxton Hicks contractions.

Pregnancy Symptoms? Mild sciatica, pubic bone pain, my belly gets hurt sometimes like it's being pulled downward, peeing when I sneeze/cough (lovely), leg cramps, heartburn, nausea, sore boobies again... and for some reason, some moody crying spells which I have luckily avoided this entire time until now. 

Belly Button in or out? Innie still! 

What I miss: Being able to move/sleep/walk normally. 

What I am looking forward to: Meeting him :)

Upcoming appointments: Not until we come back from our sort of babymoon! 

Weekly Wisdom: You can never have too much sleep, and eat small, frequent meals. Normal size meals fill me up so fast right now to the point of almost vomiting. 

Milestones: 30 weeks! About 10 more to go...

Bump Picture: Regular dresses are now shirt staples. It makes it easier and it's cheaper than buying maternity shirts.

Sometimes it's easier to wear a pre-pregnancy dress than a maternity shirt... for a shirt.
