The Big 3-0 {Weeks that is}

DSC_0130tagged

*How far along?: 30 weeks!
*How big is baby?: Cucumber! That's pretty crazy.

*Total Weight Gain/Loss: +30. End of story. LOL
*Maternity Clothes: Some large shirts I can wear but mostly everything ... maternity.
*Stretch Marks: Not that I can see but I also can't see much past this belly!
*Gender: A BOY
*Movement: Some days he is more active then others.
*Sleep?: It's been getting worse. I thought I was just *lucky* by having relatively painless sleeps... not anymore! Between the back pain and having trouble rolling from one side to the next... Oy.
*Best moment this week? There were a lot of good moments! We had our baby bash and received quite a few generous gifts. I used some gift cards to finish outfitting the nursery. I found a jumper for $12. We just need to assemble some things and clear out this room finally and for good... we are making great progress. I've even started washing baby clothes so I don't have to worry about it later on.
*Food cravings?: This week I really wanted tacos.
*What I miss: Not being so hot? I feel like my skin is on fire. I can barely walk to the car and back without breaking into a swear.
*Symptoms: Swelling. Like Crazy. The doctor on Monday wasn't worried because my blood pressure is great... but it has ME worried. I also had some blurry vision this week, a little bit of dizziness... It made me REALLY nervous. I took a nap and I feel okay as of this update but I am definitely going to be a little more careful and not over-exert myself in the future. I see my doctor again really soon so I'm going to ask her ... when should I call and be concerned? When a nap doesn't cure it?
*What I'm Looking Forward To: We have one last ultrasound this month at 32 weeks. I'm excited to see what resembles an actual BABY on the screen. It would be nice to also have further confirmation that our little one is a boy. I mean... they said so at 20 weeks but peace of mind is always nice.
 *Thoughts: Last week I updated and was worried that I wouldn't have everything done but luckily ... we have all the pieces to be completed -- we just need to get them ready and in place. I was worried I'd be buying baby gear up until the day of but ... we are set! There are a few things left but we are ready to go. =]

You look great but these last few weeks are when he is going to start growing like a weed!

I feel ya on the swelling, I was fine until about 33 weeks and then the beginning signs of Pre-E started. BP went up a little and swelling started. At 35 weeks my hands were so swollen I couldn't touch my pinky to my thumb. and at 35 weeks 4 days I was induced.
My doc said first pregnancies that are boys are the most common for it. Hopefully it will stir clear!

Good luck mama and I LOVE that dress!

Don't feel bad about the weight gain. I was so depressed when I saw I gained like 40 lbs by the end but it all goes away eventually I promise!

Oh goodness, my feet and ankles have been swelling for the past 3 days for the first time. I have been worried but I go to the doctor tomorrow. You look great!
