This past week has been interesting, in a non-interesting way. I've been clearing things out of the old guest room, moving them to the new guest room (which really is a slight down grade, as it's in the basement and is off the room with the washer/dryer, but who cares) and in doing so am really starting to feel like it's all happening - fast! This weekend she'll have a crib, for goodness sake. And a dresser. And clothes in that dresser. I have a stroller, car seat, bassinet, play pen, bumbo chair, activity centre, and even started stocking up on baby supplies. I'm starting to feel like we can do this!
Seriously, I'm stupidly excited about setting up her room. She's a little person who will have stuff! She's going to grow into this little girl, who will grow into a bigger girl, who will grow into a teenager, and then an adult - it's very exciting! I can't wait to meet her and watch her grow, and hopefully guide her (in a helpful way!) along her journey.
I went to the doctor today and she's now back to being a regular size on the growth charts, which is both good and bad for me. Good, because obviously I don't want to have a huge baby. Bad, because now it seems likely that I'll go at least to full term and I'm so very tired of being pregnant! We (my family) also have a pool going to guess the date of the baby's birth, and now we may have to rethink our dates! Other results from my appointment - everything is very normal and boring. Except that I'm the exact same weight (down to the 10th of a kg) as I was at my last appointment. Which means in two weeks I haven't gained an ounce. I think that's a good thing, as she's obviously growing, but I'm not ballooning out, so maybe this post-baby weight won't be too bad?
Next week - pictures of baby room! And maybe a bump pic, I haven't decided.
How far along?: 30 weeks 1 day
Baby is the size of a(n): Cucumber (she's probably a little fatter than a cucumber though!)
Total weight gain/loss: 25 lbs and holding - I'm actually the exact same weight I was at my last doctor's appointment!
The Bump: Growing very much outward, not so much sideways so that's good. I swear my butt got bigger though...
Symptoms/How I'm feeling: Just the usual. I'm pretty much over the whole pregnancy experience now.
Food Cravings/Aversions: I realized today that the one constant craving I've had is ice. Not with water though - juice. No aversions but I'm still having a hard time eating much of anything these days.
Sleep: Restless still. I also get a lot of heartburn which is really frustrating.
Weddings Rings On or Off: On still. Knock wood.
Exercise: Walking. Resistance band exercises.
Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes! TBA at birth.
Gender: Girl!
Movement: More and more every day and some of them are pretty hard!
Maternity Clothes: 100% (besides yoga pants) and some of those just don't fit over my butt anymore, sadface.
Labor Signs: Not really. The BH contractions stopped last week too.
What I miss: Last weekend I went to a BBQ where people had wine. I really miss a nice glass of wine...
Best Moment of the Week: This sounds lame, but, cleaning house. It felt so good to have a crisp, clean house with freshly vacuumed carpets and clean surfaces. Nesting? Who knows. Started moving things around to make room for baby too, which made everything feel very "real."
What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Crib shopping is officially happening this weekend, PLUS I booked an awesome massage. So both of those things will be just plain awesome.
