30 Weeks

WOOHOO!! I'm at 30 weeks along today!! That means... ONLY TEN MORE WEEKS until this little guy comes into the world :) I am beyond thrilled, and I feel pretty dang lucky that this pregnancy has seemed to fly by so far despite the not so awesome symptoms.


"Woohoo! You can finally see the finish line now that you're in the final quarter of the race!!! Whether you felt like your pregnancy's been flying by or slower than a snail scaling Everest, you've arrived in your thirtieth week and your baby's cookin' beautifully! In animal news: the fine lanugo hair that covers their little monkey-like body will start falling off this week in preparation for the big day. Still, don't be too shocked if your baby ape is hairier than you’d anticipated. Some babies keep their lanugo after birth - which is totally normal, and it will fall off eventually. Checking in on the fat factory: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs, thanks to their ever-growing layers of subcutaneous brown fat. In terms of numbers, your big ol' baby should be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and be nearly 16 inches long! Keep up the good work you two!" - Baby Gaga


As of my doctors appointment today, I'm weighing in at 178lbs.. which = a total of 26lbs weight gain this pregnancy. BLECH. Sounds like an awful lot to me.. and this is by FAR the most I've ever weighed so it's a little shocking, but i'm still told it's normal. Also, from here on out I should be gaining about a pound a week. Yikes! Don't get me wrong, I love being pregnant and I am so grateful to be.. but I already can't wait to work off my pregnancy weight and to get in shape.. and hopefully get in even better shape than I was pre-pregnancy.

Goals this week: To eat healthier despite my cravings for everything junky, and to go on daily walks with Jeremy.
