30 Weeks - Ready for another vacation already :)

How far along? 30 Weeks, 5 days

Total weight gain: 22 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yes

Stretch marks? No, and I owe that to three things: genetics I guess, Nivea lotion, and Johnson's Baby Oil. 

Sleep: Sleep is ok minus the 3-5 bathroom breaks a night. Randy has caught me snoring a couple of times. This has got to be a pregnancy thing because I am usually a silent sleeper. 

Best moment this week: We had a wonderful weekend spent celebrating babies with friends. We spent the day in Charleston on Saturday for our friend Brandi's baby shower, went shopping at BabiesRUs afterwards, and then spent Sunday celebrating you at my South Carolina baby shower with sweet friends. 

Miss Anything? Vacation...it's only been a couple of weeks but I already feel like I need another one. Work has been very hectic lately and being in your 3rd trimester doesn't help at all. 

Movement: Your movements are so much more exciting these days. If I place my hands underneath my belly it feels like i'm actually holding you. I love placing my hands on my stomach and feeling your whole body move. I'm not ready for that feeling to go away. Can't get enough of it. 

Food cravings: Milk, cold fruit, cold pasta salads, ice cold cokes (caffeine free), and of course anything sweet. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Thankfully no

Symptoms:  I've been feeling pretty good lately even though the energy level has gone down. Despite the energy level, I still manage to "go go go" every day and wonder how that's possible sometimes but I know my body will tell me when to stop. I'm enjoying every last minute of this last trimester and surprisingly still don't want it to end. This entire pregnancy has been such an amazing experience and one that I have been waiting on for quite some time so you can keep taking your sweet time to bake in there for your Mama and Daddy. We love you so. 

Belly Button in or out? Out...way out! I never thought I would get an outie but I was told today that it's probably because you are resting right up against it which makes since because most of your movements come from right underneath my belly button. 

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Both

Looking forward to: Relaxing in the pool this weekend and gearing up for our Florida baby shower!

29 weeks

How far along? 29 weeks

Total weight gain: About 22 lbs! 

Maternity clothes? Still wearing maternity clothes. At this point, I'd love to be able to wear a huge t-shirt, no bra and soffe shorts all day every day if I could. 

Stretch marks? Not yet

Sleep: The nightly bathroom breaks have once again picked back up right where they left off from first trimester. Sleep is starting to become a bit of an issue. 

Best moment this week: Spent Father's day weekend with my Dad, Rachel and Randy in the pool. So much fun1 I wish I had them up here every weekend. Got to hear your sweet little heart beat this week (strong 150 BPM)! You are head down and Mama can sure tell because all of those kicks and jabs are up in my rib area now. Our midwife says you weigh approx 2.5 lbs. 

Miss Anything? Free time! Life has been so crazy lately and I'm sure it's only going to pick up from here. 

Movement: Moving everywhere. I can feel you completely change positions and roll over. Love all of your movements. This week you found Mommies rib cage. 

Food cravings: Fresh and cold fruit (watermelon, kiwi, strawberries, mango's). Randy and I are still on this fruit smoothie kick. I'm enjoying milk a lot more than usual as well.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Not yet...few braxton's here and there. 

Symptoms:  A little slower to walk and a little less energy. I started having bad indigestion but think it's because I was laying down right after I eat. Had to start staying up for at least an hour and that helps. I haven't had any heartburn but this indigestion thing is no joke and it's triggered by all sorts of food not just specific things. 

Belly Button in or out? Outie! 

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Both

Looking forward to: My Sumter baby shower this weekend! 

28 weeks

Week 28 was spent finishing up our wonderful vacation and coming home trying to get adjusted back to normal life. We had a great time on our babymoon and it was bittersweet to see it come to an end. I could seriously get used to waking up everyday with one task in mind and that is trying to decide if I should sunbath at the pool or the beach. What a life that would be! There's nothing I would rather do than spend quality time with my amazing husband and I am so thankful we were able to do that before Baby Greene makes his grand entrance into this crazy world. Now it's time to finish up all of those projects...check off everything on that to-do list...and let the count down begin!

How far along? 28 weeks

Total weight gain: ? I've been avoiding the scale ever since vacation started. I'll find out at my next Dr.'s appointment next week. I can assure you that this baby boy has definitely not missed a meal! 

Maternity clothes? Every day

Stretch marks? No but I'm sporting that wonderful Linea nigra. I love the signs of pregnancy though. 

Sleep: Sleep is starting to be a bit challenging. 

Best moment this week: Wrapping up vacation...finally getting that smoothie I've been waiting for...and getting through that dreadful glucose test. 

Miss Anything? Already starting to miss my energy. I can tell it's starting to go down. 

Movement: You are all over the place. I'm pretty sure you are head down. I wish I could see you moving around in there but Mommy will wait patiently another 12 weeks or so to see that sweet face of yours. 

Food cravings: I've been enjoying smoothies and boiled peanuts and pretty much anything I can get my hands on at this point. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: That glucose drink made me a bit queasy this morning. First time I've felt nauseous in a while. 

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Not yet

Symptoms:  Feeling a little more tired than usual. I'm used to go go go all the time so the least bit of energy loss completely throws me off. 

Belly Button in or out? Officially...out!

Wedding rings on or off? On...I've been blessed so far with no swelling. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time. Very cranky if I get hungry or tired. 

Looking forward to: Spending Father's Day weekend with my Dad and niece! 

BABYMOON! 27 weeks

At 27 weeks, we are having so much fun on our babymoon in the Florida Keys!
