30 Weeks

OMGosh! I can NOT even believe I have ten weeks left, if that! Symptoms: Continued heartburn Sinus issues: runny nose and gross nasal drip Frequent potty breaks Super itchy skin Oger feet - super swelling Nursery Update: The furniture has been chosen and arrived safely. This includes the rocker. I'm so excited to hold her in my arms and rock her to sleep in it! This is about it though. It's been kinda slow getting it done. I've been feeling super sluggish. Although they say she hasn't grown too much since the last two weeks I feel she has. I feel like I'm popping out a lot more. But, her brain is growing more! It's preparing to retain all kinds of new information when she arrives. She is also losing her fur coat which means her body is starting to regulate it's temperature. Sounds like she's almost ready to arrive! Little one, I'm beyond anticipation for you. Although there is much to do before your arrival my heart is already prepared to love you and nurture you into the baby, little girl, woman you will be born for! But hang in there a bit longer. Until the perfect timing of your arrival...... Mom. It is well with my soul.

28 Weeks

And we've made it to the third trimester! Phew! She's getting heavier and heavier. At times feeling like she's trying to scrap herself out through my belly button. Yeouch! She's very active. Moving whenever she feels the urge to "get more comfortable". Usually when I have a full bladder, just ate, or decide to sit. I guess I invade her space. Symptoms: Headaches continue. No migraines though - knock on wood. Nausea: AGAIN! What in the world. Mornings are worst but I've been feeling pretty sick to my stomach all day. Dizziness: I've been really light headed, especially after sitting and mostly in the mornings. The waddle: if only this was as fun as The Wiggle. ;) it's happened. I'll catch myself mid walk acting like a duck. Eek. I can still see my toes though!!!! Painting them is a challenge now though. Heartburn: I think I could be a fire breathing dragon. Baby Update: She's about 2.5 pounds and 16 inches long. She is at the point now that if born, she'd be able to breathe well enough. I'd like her to stay cooking for a while longer but it does take some worry away. She is also able to dream now!! Which is something I'm doing more of lately as well. Weird, crazy dreams. Anyone else dream crazy things when pregnant? I'm feeling so incredibly blessed to soon be holding her in my arms. Jesus, continue to keep her safe and healthy. Give her sweet dreams in there.
