30 WEEKS

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 30 Weeks

Size of Baby: Hardy is the size of a head of cabbage

(he weighed 3 lbs. and 13 oz. this week)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 24 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Every day! Unfortunately since I am

carrying all out front, the trick of buying regular clothes bigger

just does not work. I am a HUGE fan of maternity clothes!

In fact, I wonder why they don't put that elastic band in all

clothes for women.

Gender: B-O-Y

Movement: Oh yes! The space in there is getting

a little tighter so you can actually see him move around now.

It's so weird and cool at the same time to see your entire belly move!

I like to say Hardy is already "showing his rear" because he often puts

his butt up right against my belly and stays there no matter how

much you try to make him move.

Sleep: This word no longer exist in my life!

It's funny that so many people tell you to sleep while

you can,because you won't for the next 20 plus years.

Hah...I already cannot sleep!

What I Miss: Being small(er)! It's amazing

how much less you can do when you have a big

belly to carry around.

Cravings: Easter candy is my favorite, especially

Mini Eggs by Cadbury. I have been dying to tear

into a bag of these, but too much chocolate gives

me terrible heartburn. This may just be worth it though!

Symptoms: Still got the awful heartburn and I have no

energy...got to find some of that so I can start nesting!

Best Moment of the Week: We have a very healthy

baby boy! Our 30 week ultrasound appointment

was this week, and the doctor was very pleased

with everything. Hardy is a healthy baby...what

an incredible blessing from the Lord!
