Ok, I have been terrible. We went home for Marcus's summer vacation and I didn't do one single update! But I have kept track of everything in our baby's book and journal, that is the important part!
So first things first, tonight I will do a quick baby girl update! I will work on the update about our trip, that may take me a few days, Ill do my best!
Baby girl is growing growing growing!!! She is now 3 lbs and almost 16 inches long! WHOA!! Now...the question is, where is she going to fit when she at least doubles that weight!?!? Im not sure!
This last couple of weeks, she has found my right side floating ribs; she has made it her personal responsibility to kick the crud out of them! She is head down (to the left) and she is almost always sitting diagonally across my torso. The little sweetie is a dancer I am convinced. She goes crazy. Dancing and moving alllll the time and we wouldn't have it any other way! The other night Marcus was blown away because he didn't realize exactly how much she moved. He is able to feel her all the time and we literally can watch her moving, but this night was different. He was playing music on the iPad and the closer he held it to my belly, the more she danced. She was on a role and my belly was moving all over the place, all he could do was laugh. We both got the giggles and she just kept dancing! It literally looked like my belly was popping!
Marcus is wonderful and with the help of a wonderful friend, Jared, rebuilt her closet before we left for Idaho to make it more functional. I was tickled pink! I absolutely love it and am so so grateful to him!
Before
After
We went to my brother and new sister in laws wedding, (which I will discuss more of in the next update) and that is where this photo was taken. I want to say....I was 26 weeks?? Im pretty sure.
And lastly, this is the most recent photo at 30, yes 30 weeks!!!! Holy smokes, I look HUGE!!!! I obviously always knew 30 weeks was coming, but I wasn't ready!!! It came so quickly! Our technical due date still stands at Oct 5, but the Dr would like me to deliver between the 21-27 of September. I hear this is something I won't complain about, but it seems SOO soon!! We are getting so excited!! I can't believe she will be here before we know it.
How Far Along Are You? 30 Weeks
Any Morning Sickness? Only about once a week now, and its usually triggered by a smell or if I haven't eaten!
Total Weight Gain? Lost
14 at the beginning from throwing up so much... I have gained back 13 of those. YIKES!
Are You Sleeping Well? Ummm
no. This just started. I went through a good period of time where I could sleep pretty well, now that is no more! I do my best though!! :) Can't complain too much, she will be worth it!
Feeling Movement? Hahaha! An understatement. She is insane! Moving all the time, all times of day, kicking, punching, turning, watching my belly is entertaining.
Any Food Cravings? Nothing really makes me sick anymore, but sometimes things just don't sound good. Cravings?? FRUIT!!! GIVE ME FRESH FRUIT! And lots of it!
Something New This week? ....new?? In the past couple weeks its been the floating rib abuse, we will count that as this weeks ;)
Do You Have a Name/Know Gender? Its a
Girl!!! No official name. We have it narrowed down to three and her middle name is set, but we will have to see her I think before we pick from the three. We love them all though!
How's the Daddy-to-Be? Excited to be starting his second year and so excited for her to be here. He says all the time "when she is out..." :) She is going to be so loved by her daddy!
