30 Weeks

How far along? 30 weeks
This Week the baby is a size of a: As long as a "long cucumber." What classifies a long cucumber from a big cucumber?... I have no idea.  The vegetable analogies are getting less and less realistic in my mind.  Another website says it's the size of   a squash. I just don't know what to believe anymore!
Total weight gain/loss: Let's just say bikini's aren't my thing anymore.  Well they never were to begin with anyway...

Maternity clothes? Yes.  They make me look so pregnant and cute! However, for the most part I still wear gym shorts and a t-shirt.  
Belly button in or out? In, but I'm getting nervous the skin between my bellybutton ring holes is going to split! It's getting really thing and redish-purpley.  Mom says I should have thought about that when I was 18 and got it pierced. Psh, yeah, ok.
Sleep: Seeing how I'm posting this at 12:30 am, Most of my sleep occurs between the hours of 2 am and 10 am... followed by an afternoon power nap.
Best moment this week: Starting work on the nursery!  We've ripped up the carpet and floors, stripped the wall boarder, patched up sheet rock.  Tomorrow we're painting and in a few days we're getting new wood floors!  The picture is my little helper, Ryan, throwing the carpet padding out of the window. Time to say goodbye to my old high school room. 
Movement: Yes, but I wish I knew what it was that I'm feeling. A head? Butt? Knee? Fist?
Symptoms: Lack of sleep and... (those easily squeemish stop reading)... constipation.  I've read that it happens to pregnant women but jeeesh, gimme a break!  Also lots of back pain and some minor leg tenderness.
Symptoms I DON'T have: Haven't been having weird dreams, and no heart burn!
Food cravings: Eh, nothing really, so I'll just type in the cliche to fill up space: ice cream, peanut butter and pickles.
Gender: boy
What I miss: e n e r g y 
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the nursery and starting birthing classes.  My first one is today and I'm very excited, but also nervous.  I'm afraid they're going to open my eyes to the terror of labor/delivery and I'll start having super anxiety

Weekly Wisdom: Lots of stretching and water
Milestones: The babe's still busy getting fat.  Brains still growing too  

To Do List: Starting to scratch things off my list... my big goal this week is to get things rolling with daycare.
