29 and 30 weeks

29 weeks

30 weeks

pregnancy highlights:

weight gain/loss:

As of last week's appointment, I have gained a total of 3 lbs so far!

maternity clothes:

same as before... mainly maternity tops and all maternity pants for work, and comfy clothes that still fit when I'm home

gender:

big, wiggly girl

Camille's size:

The average weight is between 2.5 and 3lbs. She weighed 3 lbs and 5 oz a week ago. Her length is about 15.7 in., according to BabyCenter.

belly button:

It sits out a bit now, especially when she is positioned a certain way.

movement:

We know from last week's ultrasound that she is already head down with her little rear end up against my belly button area. That makes sense since I can feel stronger movements (her feet) near the top of my belly. At night, especially, she moves a lot. Her movements are stronger than they were even a couple weeks ago. When she stretches out, it feels like I should stretch my torso, too, to help accommodate her.

cravings:

Ruffles potato chips with dip, no more Rocky Road ice cream (I've moved on to Edy's Cookies and Cream now)

what I miss:

nothing

sleep:

I am sleeping pretty well. I do usually get up once a night to go to the bathroom. I have had a few weird dreams lately... in one of them, Camille was a baby shaped rock. Weird.

symptoms:

Last Thursday, I felt great. Then, all of a sudden, I had a big wave of nausea while at work. Then, I threw up four times. I was afraid it was a stomach virus, since that has been going around school the last couple weeks. I told my doctor about it, and he said that I probably have reflux now that she's bigger and my organs are all smushed together. Since then, I haven't been sick, but the heartburn has been something else.

best moments of the last two weeks:

We are almost finished with her room. I'm excited to post photos of it soon!

We finally got to meet her sweet babysitter in person.

We had a great trip to Gulf Shores!

We got to see her on another ultrasound. The ultrasound showed she's a big, healthy girl. What a blessing!

what I am looking forward to:

"baby class" at the hospital this Saturday

finishing her room

our next baby shower just two weekends away

my sister flying in from San Diego for the weekend of the shower

hanging out with my sweet husband these next two months
