30 weeks!

December 4, 2014
How far along?
30 weeks

Total weight gain: 
+19.6 lbs total

Measurements:
Added 6.5 inches to my waist and 4.5 inches to my hips

Maternity clothes? 
I pretty much wear my maternity pants every day now. My old pants just aren't fitting anymore. I also couldn't zip up my rain jacket anymore either. I had to put in another order online for some more shirts and long sleeves as it is finally cooling down here!

Sleep:  
I sleep through the whole night and I'm sleeping pretty well once I fall asleep. It hasn't been comfortable to lay down this week though. I was having SUCH a stiff back, so we took off our memory foam mattress topper, got me a new firmer pillow, and now I'm sleeping with a body pillow between my legs. It seems to be much better now! I enjoy waking up without a stiff back now. I also feel like there is so much extra weight and pressure on my body now so I can't imagine sleeping in 2 months from now!

Best moment this week:
Having a 4 day weekend!

Miss Anything?
Not having symptoms

Movement: 
Still lots of kicking and moving around in there! 
 
Food cravings: 
Caramel creams
 
Anything making you queasy or sick: 
I got up around 1 am Tuesday to throw up. I think it was from having such bad heartburn that night. Yuck.
 
Gender
Girl- Emma Grace will be her name.

Symptoms:  
Heartburn, backache, belly button starting to pop out on the top, fatigue, gallbladder pain (I think- it's right under my right breast and even goes around my back in the same spot. I know its not from my bra so I did some research and found out that it is exactly where the gallbladder is and other pregnant women were describing the exact same pain as me. It feels like a burning sensation almost from the bra rubbing on it but then there is no relief, no rash, no bumps or anything. I'm hoping its not gallstones but if the pain continues, I'll call the doctor to see what they suggest.)

Approximate countdown:
10 weeks to go!! What a milestone!





On Black Friday, we slept in and I was able to Facetime with my family who were all together for Thanksgiving. Then, we went to the hospital so I could do my glucose test. There weren't many people there that day which was nice! I drank the orange kool-aid drink and waited an hour. I got SO tired waiting during that time! I was literally using Dan's shoulder to keep from falling over. I didn't expect that but thankfully I woke up once we started moving around after the test. I found out a few days later that I passed! Yay! Then, we did a little shopping after that at the furniture store to look for a nightstand. We also went to the Gift Store but didn't find anything to buy that day- what a shame huh?

Saturday, we made dumplings again and they were MUCH better this time! Rolling them out as flat as possible is the key. Unfortunately, the turkey fryer broke down at our friend's house so we ended up eating 2 hours late. I thought the dumplings changed flavor a bit so I didn't even like them that much by lunch time but got several compliments on them. We enjoyed catching up with some friends and hanging out for our 2nd Thanksgiving. That night, we finished putting up our decorations.








Finally, here is a shot comparing 10, 20, and 30 weeks! Man I look skinny at 10 weeks!
