30weeks&0days

How far along? 30 weeks.

Maternity clothes: It's unavoidable now and I've finally just embraced the elastic waistbands. I'll probably need to get a support band soon.

Stretch marks? Nope, which I'm thankful for.

Sleep: Still restless, but if I prop a pillow under my stomach it makes it a little easier to fall asleep.

Best moment this week: Almost done with her room! It's half teal and half light grey, and we have some coral pillows and pictures. I didn't want to make it obnoxiously pink because A. fuck no, and B. one day we'll probably have a boy so I wanted it to be pretty neutral and not give me a headache with the bright colors. It doesn't need to be a circus tent. AND we went to Dapper Day at Disney.

Miss anything? I miss not living in the bathroom because I have to pee all the time, and I miss un-swollen ankles.

Movement: She's a fucking gymnast.

Food cravings: Chocolate and marshmallows just melted together. I just want a giant bowl of it all melted together.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Mustard. Normally I love mustard but right now I can't't stand it.

Gender: Still a girl!

Symptoms: I'm starting to feel a strain in my ligaments to where I hold my stomach a lot when I'm moving, and I'm still having some back pain. The restless legs have mostly stopped since I started to take more iron.

Belly button in or out? It's starting to flatten out, which is pretty creepy.

Wedding rings on or off? On but getting tighter so I'll probably have to take them off soon before they cut off my circulation.

Happy or moody most of the time: Equal parts nervous and excited. I'm just worried about how it will change Nic and I, if I'll be good at it and know what she needs/wants. What if she hates me?

Looking forward to: Still our non-shower baby shower.
