30 Weeks

Today I'm 30 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I'm feeling really great overall. I think being the second one you don't have as much time to think about being pregnant, because you're keeping up with a toddler, so it just goes by faster. I think in about a month I will really be done being pregnant though. I have a lot still to do before this baby arrives and I'm trying to keep it all in perspective. We're getting closer, but we're not there yet.

Anyway, I had a great weekend. Saw my family on Sunday. Love seeing my twin nieces and Harlan. My mom and I are going to Fort Worth to keep them for a night while my brother and sister in law attend a wedding in Dallas. Should be an adventure.

Yesterday I had my bi-weekly doc appt. Everything looks good. I'm measuring right on track. Hudson's heart beat was at 144bpm. My blood pressure was great, and all my lab work came back perfect. I go back in 2 weeks.

Here’s what’s happening in Week 30:

Weight Loss/Gain? 24lbs total. I only gained one pound since my last appt so that was good. I've been really trying to eat right so I don't gain as much as I did with Hannah. Baby weighing around 3lbs now.

Cravings: Sandwiches, soup, Mexican food, banana peppers, pickles (bread and butter pickles), and dark chocolate :) I also really was craving pumpkin spice things. I made about 3 dozen pumpkin spice muffins on Friday and have been enjoying those. I also treat myself to a pumpkin spice latte every couple of weeks. They're so yummy! I didn't drink much caffeine while pregnant with Hannah, but I find I really crave coffee in the morning with this baby. I try to drink it in small amounts though.

Aversions: None. But I did have some nausea last week though. I find if I over eat I feel sick.

Miss Anything? Not much.
 
Gender: BOY!!! Hudson Jacob Hughes

Favorite Moment this Week: Seeing family and working on the nursery. I love how it's all coming together. I will do a big reveal post at the end of November.
 
Sleeping: Sleep is better some nights more than others. Two Fridays ago I had a major case of insomnia and was up from 1:30am to 5:00am. No fun. I find it hard to sleep next to my snoring husband. Ha!

Stretch Marks? None :)

Workout: It's pretty much non existent at this point. The last time I walked I was in a lot of pain afterwards. It no longer makes me feel good.

Clothes: Mostly all maternity now. Some dresses fit still as well as some tops. Pants are all maternity. The belly band just doesn't cut it anymore.

Baby Movement: He's a mover. Love watching him from the outside. However, those big movements are getting more uncomfortable by the day.

Most looking forward to: Our trip to Fort Worth in two weeks and the fall weather. I'm also looking forward to dressing HK up as Mini Mouse for Halloween :) She's going to be so cute!!!
