Good thing the nursery is almost done! The bedding arrived yesterday...I felt like a kid on Christmas day driving home from school! It looks great, but we are still missing our chair (2 to 4 more weeks) and have a few finishing touches to add later this week. I will post pictures once they are complete! Here are a few sneak peaks in the meantime...
And now for the update...
How Far Along: 30 Weeks
Size of Baby:
A cucumber (~15.2 to 16.7 inches long and ~2.5 to 3.8 pounds)
What's Happening (according to thebump.com):
Baby's skin is getting smoother and he is now strong enough to grasp a finger.
Cravings:
Nothing...
Movement:
I've been feeling the baby move for some time now (the best comparison I can give is a twitch in my stomach), but over the past few days, the movement has changed. I can literally feel the baby move body parts (arms, legs perhaps?) across my stomach. And if I push on my stomach from the outside, I can feel his little appendages (can't distinguish but can feel something in there!). It's the strangest, most bizarre feeling! I seriously feel like an alien is living in my stomach!
Sleep:
Still going well! Well, with the exception of the schnauz needing to lay on top of me and my pillow!
Clothing:
Same...the couple pairs of maternity pants I have, but mostly dresses, skirts, and leggings. Only 15 more days of school and then it won't matter what I wear! :)
Other Pregnancy Symptoms:
Acid Reflux: Still getting that throat burn feeling some, but not every day like I did last week. Ugh, that was awful. I tried to drink some Mylanta to help it and almost threw up due to it's nastiness. I'll pass and deal with the burning throat.
Swelling: My fingers were very swollen last Saturday morning, but haven't swelled since. And I think I still have ankles, despite the hubs trying to tease me and tell me otherwise.
Braxton Hicks: Feel them everyday!
Leg Cramps: Still wake up overnight with these on occasion, but not every night.
Here's my 30-week baby bump!
