baby #2: 30 weeks

_MG_2133Baby’s size: The book puts her at about 3 pounds and 17 inches long. At my appointment this week, my fundal height is still one week behind. At least we are staying consistent here!
Maternity clothes?: Yes… and I’m nervous that even some of my maternity tops might get too short!
Gender: Sugar and spice 🙂
Symptoms: There were a few days this week where my belly just felt sooo tight and uncomfortable. I guess everything was just stretching. Luckily, it’s passed and I’m feeling a lot better.
Sleep: Still waking up a lot and having weird dreams, but otherwise, good. I’m usually awake at 5 am every morning and can’t sleep much after that.
Movement: She is moving almost always now! She was crazy while we were at my appointment this week, so her heart rate was up. She even hit/kicked the doppler! My OB was really impressed with all her activity and said she must be really healthy 🙂
Cravings: Ice cream!
What I miss: I’m kind of missing feeling fit and lean, but I’m not thinking about it too much because I know I’ll miss the baby bump when it’s gone!
Anything making you queasy or sick?: I’ve been a little nauseous again in the mornings and at night, which is when my morning sickness used to peak in the first trimester.
Belly Button in or out?: Amazingly still in.
Exercising?: Ran 16 miles and walked 4. Running is starting to (sometimes) feel difficult.
Mood: I’ll admit that I was a little stressed earlier this week… but now that I’ve started checking some things off my to-do list, I’m feeling a lot better.
Best moment this week: Just hearing that everything looked great at my doctor appointment was a great feeling! I also (finally) chose and ordered her diapers, which helps me feel a little more prepared and excited!
Comparison: I thought I’d be cool and wear the same shirt… 30 weeks with Kaya! I think there is definitely a difference in the shape and size of my belly now.30weekcomparison
