30 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 30 Weeks 2 days! Wow, I actually can’t believe it!

Total weight gain:  34 pounds. Down one pound from two weeks ago. Doctor says this is totally normal though as I gained so much last month.

Maternity clothes? I am proud to say I have made it 30 weeks without buying any maternity clothes except for a few non-maternity items that were a tad bigger size. Lets see how long this lasts…

Stretch marks? None yet

Sleep: Sleep is okay. I’m still feeling high energy during the day but I’m having a hard time getting comfortable at night!

Best moment this week: I’m always thrilled to hear baby’s heartbeat; it’s as magical every time as it was the first time.

Miss anything? Just wish I could be a little more active. I have some pubic bone pain which my doc said is normal for someone my size but it makes it hard to walk long distances or hike. Still trying to do lots of this though.

Movement: I think baby is running out of room in there! But still lots of rolls and wiggles.

Food Cravings: Mangoes! So yummy.

Anything making you queasy or sick? No, thank goodness!

Gender prediction: Okay, I just don’t know now!! We can’t WAIT to find out if little Baby Belton is a he or a she!

Labor signs: None.

Belly button in or out? Okay, its officially out. I am not a huge fan of it though.

Wedding rings on or off? On! Actually they aren’t any tighter than normal and I think it’s due to the cooler weather.

Happy or moody most of the time: We are so happy! Can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy and expand our family.

Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery, going to our prenatal classes and just enjoying these last few weeks of pregnancy!

On a side note. If you are contemplating getting maternity photos and you just aren’t sure if it is worth it…it is SO worth it. Make sure you choose a photographer who gets your style and who knows all the tricks to make you look good (because lets face it, sometimes during pregnancy, no matter how many people tell you that you look good, you still feel like a pile of crap).  It is such an amazing way to document your pregnancy and show off that sexy new figure. Don’t wait too long as you may be unhappy with just how big your belly is, no matter how good you look.  Both my husband and I had such an amazing experience getting our photos done and I left feeling so good about my body and the way I looked.  Oh and if you are in the Victoria area, check out Andrew Lint Photography at andrewlint.com. He is AMAZING and yes, he will make you look good!
