30 weeks...

How far along? More then 30 weeks... 3/4 of the way there! Total weight gain- Solid 25 pounds... all baby of course :) Baby Related Purchases- We got this super cute wreath from Andrew's cousin Sara! It is hanging on the nursery door right now.

We also picked some stuff up for the hospital bag. It is not packed, but we have a good start. Stretch marks- nope Movement- She has been moving like crazy this week! What I miss- Still missing my normal clothes, running, and eating whatever I want to eat! Cravings- Nothing that stands out... Anything making you queasy or sick- I think I have started to get heart burn, especially at night. I have never had it before, so I don't know what it feels like... but I know whatever I am feeling is no good! Gender- Girl!!!!! Check out our thoughts on our little girl :) Labor- hopefully not until March... Less than 10 weeks until the due date!

Symptoms- Just the heartburn and some extreme exhaustion at night. Seriously last night we tried to watch a movie at 6:30 and I fell asleep. Worries- Not to bad this week... probably because there was so much movement! Best moments of the week... *Bradley Method birthing class... making me think we can really do this naturally! *Doctors appointment... always good to hear the heartbeat!!! *4 year anniversary for Andrew and me! Below is a little frame I made!

*King cake season officially started... that means we will be heading to some parades here soon!

*Worked on the nursery... finally feel like we are getting somewhere!

*Falcons winning their playoff game... maybe they will pay us a visit in NOLA???
Looking forward to... *Baby shower next weekend! *Finishing up the nursery! *Mardi Gras break! *Meeting Bailey Drew... not too long!!!! Size of baby- weighs as much as a head of cabbage! What the baby is up to- (from babycenter.com)

Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
