30 weeks down!

Hello everyone!  So I skipped again last week since I was actually with a majority of you at the beach.  If you didn't get to see me in my swimsuit, consider yourself lucky!  haha

So this past weekend marked the end of 30 weeks.  So at most I have 10 more to go!!  In one way, I hope it's less and in others it is coming way too fast.  I still have so much to do in the nursery and things to buy!!  Where is the time going??


At 30 weeks, Baby M is about the size of a large cabbage at approx. 15.2- to 16.7-inches and  2.5- to 3.8-pounds! 
At 30 weeks:
  • His skin is getting smoother.
  • His brain is getting wrinklier -- to make way for all that essential brain tissue.
  • He's now strong enough to grasp a finger!  (and kick me really hard!)
 
Some of my irritating symptoms at this point:
 
Swollen feet/ankles...gross!
My belly button has made it's way out...so now it shows through my shirt.  :-(
Generally uncomfortable, but mostly at night..  I actually dreamed my side split open last night because I was having so many growing pains. 
Crazy dreams and tons of anxiety.  Is it possible to forget to feed a baby??
Peeing constantly!!!  usually 4-7 times per night.
This all = ZERO sleep.
 
The good news is that  I did pass my 2nd glucose test.  So, I was told to cut back on the sweets just to be safe.  I have gotten back on track this week with my weight so I am very happy to report that Joey and I do not have to have the "talk" just yet.  :-)  I am also still able to wear my wedding rings even in this horrible heat and humidity.  And we finally have a plan for the nursery...unless I change it again tomorrow.  That happens a lot lately....  I did buy a dresser that I can show you next week and we have our last family shower in NC this weekend which I am really looking forward to. 
 
Joey and I spent a few days at the beach this past week with family, so here are a few pics!

  Have a great week!!
Love Erin& Joey
