30 Weeks Pregnant Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Baby is a: <\/strong>Cabbage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight gained:<\/strong> 2 lbs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total Weight gained:<\/strong> 37 lbs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms:  <\/strong>Nesting. However, this time around I am trying to be more practical about it<\/a>. Decluttering, organizing, cleaning and meal prep<\/a> are my top priorities while last time, my top priority was nursery decoration. While cute and fun, it didn\u2019t help me much when I had a newborn. I am also really trying to design the nursery based on functionality. Alli has a fantastic nursery post<\/a> on how to accomplish this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take our Free Nesting Course<\/a> if you want to make sure you get it right the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cravings:<\/strong> Nothing. I am starting to not have an appetite all the time. I had the same thing happen when I was pregnant with L. Supposedly this is common in your third trimester. As baby starts to take up more room, your stomach is squished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aversions: <\/strong>No aversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep:<\/strong> Going well. I still have to pee at least three times before I fall asleep and if I wake in the night. However, I am able to sleep, which I see as a win. Before I had L, I did not prioritize resting. During this third trimester, I want to prioritize resting, so I will have energy to handle a newborn and toddler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excited for:<\/strong> Our trip to Oregon. While I could definitely go without the cross-country flight, it will be nice for L to see her extended family. We also are excited to catch up with some college friends while out that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be sure to update how well entertaining a toddler on a long flight goes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing: <\/strong>No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movement:<\/strong> She has been super active. I am starting to get very use to it. I remember after L was born, I still felt like I could feel kicks randomly. I think you get so use to it that when it\u2019s gone it\u2019s weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Update: <\/strong>No but I have an appointment next week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise:<\/strong> No<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretch Marks:<\/strong> No<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swelling:<\/strong> No<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maternity Clothing<\/strong>: Finally got some new maternity underwear. Absolutely love these from Maternity Motherhood. Most maternity underwear sucks. It is hard to find a good pair. You can not go wrong with these<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labor Signs<\/strong>: No<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Rings On:<\/strong> No. They are off for good until post-partum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belly Button In or Out:<\/strong> OUT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I\u2019m Preparing<\/strong>: I am booking a hospital tour. I had no idea what to look for or ask during a hospital tour. This time, I am prepared. If you haven\u2019t read all about picking a hospital and what to look for on a tour, this is a must<\/a>. For example, always check the level of NICU. If it\u2019s lower than a level 3 and something goes wrong, there is a good chance you and baby will get separated for a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also emailing out photographers to book the newborn photoshoot. I am very excited to get sibling photos. Even if you don\u2019t book a photographer, make sure someone who visits you at the hospital gets shots of your new family in those first few days. <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Moment of the Week<\/strong>: Mother\u2019s Day. We spent the whole day outside since the weather was wonderful. We went on our favorite hike. L insisted she was cold, so she wore mom\u2019s jacket. I also started constructing baby\u2019s blanket by cutting the fabric. I made L a baby blanket and this is one thing that I really wanted to do again. Not practical but to me, it is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also got to sleep in on Mother\u2019s Day, which before becoming a mom, I never truly valued as much as I should have.<\/p>\n\n\n
