30 Weeks

•How far along are you? 30 weeks!!  So glad to be in the "30's."  It just sounds so much farther along!

 •How big is baby?: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage).

•Maternity clothes: All maternity pants and mostly maternity shirts.

•Gender: BOY!! Evan Michael Baxter.

•Sleep?: It's been ok this week. Still getting up often for bathroom trips in the middle of the night.

•Best moment this week?: Being able to be home to celebrate Easter with Em this weekend.

•Movement?: Tons of movement!

 •Food cravings?: Bananas and popsicles

•Food aversions?: Plain grilled chicken

•What I miss: Still a lot at this point.

•Symptoms: Still just uncomfortable from my belly getting larger.  Also, I continue to be hot all the time and the heartburn continues to get worse.

•Milestone: Making it another week with Evan still in my tummy!!!! And surviving my fifth week of bedrest! Also, being in the first week of the "30's."  At most I will only have 9 more weeks to go.  My dr. gives the option to induce at 39 weeks.  With Em, I didn't have to make that decision since she came at 37 weeks, but I can guarantee I will take her up on that option should Evan decide to hang out until then (although I really don't see that happening).

I have a sono scheduled for Thursday morning.  Sono appts make me way more stressed out than just NST appts, since the dr. can get actual measurements.  I'm not sure the magic number that will send me to hospital bedrest, but let's hope it doesn't come this week!!!  I'm getting so close now, I so badly just want to be able to finish bedrest out at home!  Please send good thoughts my way! 

I ordered a few fun things for Evan last week and had to share.  Some soft blocks and a bib and burp cloth. I've been doing lots of online shopping.  :)
