30 weeks

How far along:  30 weeks  (3.26.15)

Total weight gain/loss: 22 lbs

Maternity clothes:  yes... same as before. 

Sleep:  not awesome.  the dreams are sooooo crazy and half the time i feel like i'm awake.  so i've been feeling more sleepy during the day although i've avoided naps so that's been good.

Best moment this week:  i could say getting my new minivan on saturday.  but the true best moment of the week was actually probably on sunday night when i installed abigail and brady's carseats side by side in the second row of it.  my car is so gigantic that their enormous carseats can easily fit next to each other and i'll have plenty of room for an infant seat too.  three kids on that second row and not even feeling squished?  yes, that's my best moment of this week.  

Movement:  just a whole lot of movin' and shakin' going on around these parts.  there's been less big rolls this week and she hasn't been lodging herself in my right side as much.  but she's really active whenever i'm sitting down.  i'm guessing my walking and moving around lulls her to sleep but whenever i sit down in bed, she's all over the place.  it's pretty fun.

Food cravings:  i hate morning sickness.  it is back.  although thankfully it's not horrendous and it typically doesn't come on until 3:30 or 4 in the afternoon.  but the headache and being super picky about food is really annoying.  a few times, i've felt close to throwing up, but luckily haven't.  i'm just so thankful i feel pretty fine in the mornings so that i don't ever get really starving or worried about nutrition.  my favorite food of the week was saturday at steph's baby shower... her friend, lydia, made these amazing gluten free cinnamon pecan muffins that were to die for.  the taste and texture were so out of this world perfect.  i got the recipe.  i ate two muffins while i was there and took another one with me when i left.  ; )  

Symptoms: afternoon/evening nausea and headaches, fatigue, crazy weird dreams.

Gender:  my heart is happy about another little girl to wear abigail's too small clothing.  

What I miss:  waking up feeling like i actually went to sleep.  these dreams and airplane sleep are getting the best of me and when i wake up, i'm just needing some down time.  i want to feel unconscious... just close my eyes and see black.  

Milestones:  i hit 30 weeks!  holy cow, only ten to go!
Theme: the week of morning sickness gaining momentum
What's different this time around:  ehh, i'm too lazy for this question.

Extra:  i'm shocked at how many people ask how far along i am or when i'm due and then follow up with "ohh, yeah, you've got a ways to go" or "yeah, that's not for a while" or whatever.  umm, am i the only one that feels like ten weeks might as well be four minutes?!  i am sooo not ready to have three kids.  or a newborn.  to start this whole thing over from the very beginning with another tiny human?  holy cow.  so i'm a little bit freaking out with how fast pregnancy is flying by... although i'm apparently the only one, because everyone else thinks june 4 is forever away...
