30 Weeks - 10 weeks left....Hopefully!

Today I am 30 weeks pregnant, which leaves only 10 weeks left until the due date - that is if I make it that long!  We had a little scare this past weekend that led us to believe that Liam may be here sooner rather than later!

I woke up early Friday morning around 2am with consistent Braxton Hicks contractions. They wouldn't stop and were averaging about every 2-3 minutes! I called the Dr. and they told me to go into Labor & Delivery to be checked out.  We spent ALL day Friday in the hospital where they did everything they could to stop the contractions. After shots, IV's, sonograms and lots of fluids they finally slowed down and I got sent home with orders to be on bed rest all weekend.  

Great weekend to be on bed rest - my entire family were on their way into town and I had a baby shower on Saturday!! So our fun filled busy weekend quickly changed to everyone keeping me on the couch or in bed as much as they could. Which turned out OK - we still had an amazing baby shower and had a blast with the family in town!


How far along?  30 Weeks - 10 weeks left!

How big is Liam this week?  Head of Cabbage

Total Weight Gain? 20lbs 

Best Moment of the Week? The Dallas Baby Shower and my family being here this weekend! Great getting all my girlfriends together and having my family come into town to celebrate!

Trouble Sleeping? YES! I am pretty much getting NO sleep, at all. I wake up all night long, tossing and turning! It's really starting to become frustrating.

Miss Anything? Sleep

Movement? Constantly! The bigger he gets, the harder and more intense the movement is! There is constantly a knee or foot sticking out of my right side! If I rub it a little he will move it in, but it usually comes right back out :) I am loving it!  And seeing that he grew an entire POUND in 2 weeks, coming in at 3.7lbs, I am definitely feeling him all the time! My sister Megan really got to feel him move and kick around this weekend, he was on the move ALL weekend long!

Food Cravings? Nothing at the moment....

Belly Button - In or Out? In! I am thinking it might stay that way!

Symptoms? Starting to get a little more tired from day to day, aches & pains...other than that, I feel good! 

Wedding Ring - Off or on? On, no swelling just yet.

Happy or Moody? Depends on how much sleep I get the night before....

Looking Forward to?  Having a couple of weekends at home to ourselves to start checking things off our baby prep list!
