30 weeks

How far along?: 30 weeks. Wow! Again, this week flew by. And the next few weeks probably will as well since we have my Grandpa's birthday on Monday, C's birthday on Tuesday, work on Wednesday/Thursday, my cousin's daughter's birthday on Saturday, then C's party on Sunday, Well Check on Monday & leave for 6 days of vacation in SunRiver the following Thursday. We have a VERY busy month!!

How big is Holden?: According to my WTE app, he is approximately18 inches long & 3.2 pounds or as big as a head of lettuce.

Total weight gain/loss: +30 pounds. And still with 10 weeks to go....I really hope this slows down. =(

Maternity clothes?: Seriously..? This shouldn't even be a questions anymore.

Symptoms: Still minimal back pain this week. Yay! *knock on wood* The heartburn on the other hand was unbearable for a few days there. I got some samples of Prilosec from work & those seem to work better. I had my OB change my Rx at my appt on Friday so hopefully it will be minimal for the next 10 weeks. Starting to get a little SOB on occasion, but nothing too terrible yet fortunately. Other then that, nothing to complain about it.

Stretch marks?: Yep, Lois is very much a stretchy. Fortunately, she's not your typical one though so she's not super noticeable yet. Also, so far she doesn't have any friends.

Sleep: Love it, but have started to have some insomnia this week. Boo! Also, getting up in the middle of the night or in the early AM to pee & not being able to get back to sleep is the pits! Also, Holden seems to think that staying up all night & having dance parties in my ute are a great idea. Oi!

Movement: He's still a shy little guy, but he is a lot more active then he used to be. He moves around ALL THE TIME now, but he is definitely still 100% a night owl. Oi! I really hope his schedule changes quickly when he makes his grand appearance because this Momma definitely can not stay up late anymore.

Food cravings: Nope

Gender: Precious little boy

Names: Holden Thomas (Brother)

Labor Signs: Nope, nothing yet.

Belly Button in or out?: It's definitely still in, but it is continuing to get more shallow. If it pops out it will definitely be when I am "done" though.

What I miss: Not being short of breath! This last week I have really started to notice the lack of ability to breath deeply. I hate that walking up a flight of steps even seems a huge chore. I can't wait until I can breath again.

What I am looking forward to: It's bittersweet, but Carter's second birthday on Tuesday. Also, my vacation from work that starts next Friday! =)

Best Moment this Week: Oh gosh, it's been a rough one. I guess getting to spend some time with my BFF & doing a little party planning for C's party next weekend.
