How far along: 30 weeks, 5 days
How Big is the Baby: 15 inches long, 3 pounds ish (same as last week)? Size of a cabbage (I'm guessing when curled up)
New/Changed Symptoms: BREATHLESSNESS. Charley horses at night. Loss of appetite as I get full very fast.
Emotions: A bit more stable this week. Still feeling overwhemed with work and home life....really counting the days down until I'm off work. I think that will really improve things.
Something Funny That Happened: Nothing that comes to mind. Darn it!
Best moment of the Week: Hopefully will be tonight - having a gaggle of girlfriends over to watch the premiere of America's Next Top Model (I usually do a fun "pool" where we all pick models and win points for challenges, best photo etc. but this cycle I won't have time to organize it so we're just getting together for fun).
Movement: I can actually tell where baby is (which side he or she is on) which is cool. It moves almost all day long. Gets hiccups about every two days but they don't last long, just a minute or so each time.
Maternity Clothes: Nothing new this week - I'm waiting a couple weeks and will buy some fall stuff. OH I did FINALLY buy new bras....measuring in at a whopping 36-38DD...I was shocked!!!!!!!!! Ay yi yi. I told my husband I'm a new woman - good fitting, comfy bras make all the difference :) I wish I didn't wait so long.
Weight: I'm up 26 pounds - I'm a bit worried as I gained 2 pounds in a week. But oh, well.
Food cravings: Nothing really new...Nothing weird. Still craving sweets all the time.
Food aversions: Anything heavy or rich - I get full super fast and feel like my food's in the back of my throat - yuck.
What I Miss: Cold glass of one of my fave wines - Fish Hoeck Sauv Blanc......Hugging my husband with our whole bodies touching!!
What I'm Looking Forward To: Mat leave...might be Oct. 21 now not the 28th - yippee! Getting the boys on Friday - missed them a lot this week.
Milestone: in a couple days I'll be down to single digit countdown of weeks :) Overall I guess I'm pretty happy I've made it this far without any problems, complications, major discomforts or complaints :)
Question(s): My mother in law gave me PURE VIRGIN COCONUT OIL (it's actually used for cooking - has nutritional info on it) for oiling up with - anyone heard of or used this? I'm still trying to fight the stretchmark battle....
