30 Weeks 6 days

How far along?: 30 weeks 6 days
Total weight gain: 19 lbs
How big is baby?: Should be over 3 lbs now!
Maternity clothes?: Oh yes.  Last week I put on a non-maternity shirt that I had been wearing while pregnant, and it was skin tight and only covered down to my belly button.  I guess I got bigger....imagine that.
Stretch marks?: Nope
Sleep?:  Ugh, I think preg-somnia has hit.  I toss and turn a lot, am up in the middle of the night, and wake up pretty early on my own.  Which is good, because Gabrielle has been waking up before 7:00am too.
Best moment this week?: Feeling prepared.  The room is pretty much done.  I have new bottle nipples, pacifiers, clothes for his first year [ :) ], diapers, pretty much everything. 
Movement?: Whew....this boy is strong.  I can feel a distinct foot or elbow or something on the outside of my stomach now....he'll stick his foot out and leave it stretched out for 10-15 seconds and I can pretty much grab it on the outside of my stomach.  And I can start to see him do giant rolls across my stomach from the outside too.
Food cravings?: Nothing in particular.  Big appetite has slowed a little bit...probably because baby has squished my stomach.  But still eating every 2-3 hours.
Labor signs?: Not much
Belly button in or out?: Half and half
What I miss: I'm feeling pretty pregnant these days....so I miss being comfortable and doing everything without it being difficult/awkward.
What I'm looking forward to: The cooler weather :)

Little boy's heartbeat was chill at 128 bpm, the belly measured 30cm, and my BP 80/60.  Ha, I'm still upright so I guess it is fine.
