Week 30...

 

Your Size: You should be the size of an Eggplant or possibly a squash- we find out on Thursday if you are still averaging 2 weeks bigger.

 

Your Due Date: November 12^th… only 9 weeks left- we are in the single digits now.

 

Maternity/ Baby clothes? We got so much amazing clothes at our shower…. We really were showered with so much love last weekend!

 

Even Ruby bought you little outfits!

  

And on top of the gifts they bought, everyone decorated onsisies for us.... Some were fun, some practical and some just out of  this world!

 

 

 

Nursery: It’s really looking good now… here is another sneak peak- your mobile!

 

Baby Gear: We finally have most of the things that we need! We just need a couple of more stuff and then we are all done- and then you will be here. Two of the best things we got at your shower were two baby blankets- one made by your Grandma Chris and one made for your Great Grandma Lavish!

 

Quilt made by your Grandma Chris!

 

Your Dad's gear since I'm putting him on diaper duty!

 

 

What your crib looked like after... filled with TONS of gear!!!

 

Sleep: I got one night of real sleep this week and it’s made a world of difference.

 

This week’s adventure: Your Shower!!! It was really really amazing. Your Grandma and Auntie Alissa really outdid themselves for it. It was a nautical theme to match your nursery- so lots of whales! I was very overwhelmed by everyone that came and all the gifts that we were given. You aren’t even born yet but you are a very loved little boy already! And I have a feeling that your Grandmas and Grandpa are all going to spoil you so much.

Miss anything? My feet- I can no longer see them!

 

Movement:  I’ve been told that in these last few months I may feel you kicking and moving less since you will have less room- NOPE! You are even more active than ever. Especially when you are either dancing on my bladder or cutting off part of my stomach. You really like to do both of those things.

 

Your favorite foods: I’ve oddly lost my appetite…. But we did have some super yummy food for the shower over the weekend. Plus amazing cupcakes!

 

 

 

 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nothing in particular… I haven’t’ been feeling too good but that may just be how I’m going to be feeling these next 9 weeks.

Gender: Boy

Labor signs: Nope… Braxton Hicks getting stronger but that’s it.

Symptoms: Pure exhaustion! Plus crazy hip and back pain now…. I’m in the really painful and uncomfortable stage in the pregnancy.

Belly button in or out?  Button in, but it looks like it’s about to pop out before too long.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on and going strong- I may make it to the end with them still on!

Happy or moody most of the time: Lots of mood swings and lots of crying.

Looking forward to: This weekend we are going to go to the beach and do a lot more relaxing than we have been lately. Can’t wait to sit on the beach and do nothing!

Advice to my soon-to-be baby: Never comment on a woman’s weight, especially if she is pregnant! One of the best female advice I can give you is to never comment on how much someone weighs… if she is very skinny, even telling her how skinny she is can be offensive. And then if she’s not skinny your comment will definitely not be appreciated. Now when you see a pregnant woman you have to make sure you do not comment on how large she looks… why people think it is necessary I do not know, but if one more person tells me that they really think I am carrying twins I may just have to throw something at them!

 

 

P.S. The Notre Dame Scoreboard is now 2-0! Trust me this is something you will become VERY aware of when you are born so it’s probably a good idea for you to start keeping count now.
