30 Weeks & 3D Ultrasound

Finally! I am 3/4 of the way finished with my pregnancy, and we got to see Trevor in 3D.

First thing is first, I'm not crazy. Ive always felt like Trevor was RIGHT under the surface of my belly. I can feel him frequently, and sometimes his kicks hurt me. My belly is solid and the skin is pulled very tight. As she begins the ultrasound, the technician notices that the baby is in fact right under the surface. We saw him rest his foot up on the sonogram and at the same time you could feel his foot on my belly. She said that she isn't surprised at all that his kicks hurt sometimes. She pointed out that he has very chubby cheeks. Wonder who those come from. ;) She noted full lips (uhhhh?) and a little button nose as well. Of course, this makes me stir and wonder who he looks like, but really there is no telling for quite some time. As long as he's healthy, it doesn't matter, but a girl can wonder! 

I'm thinking he will have my round face, Erik's mouth, my nose and the eyes....no idea. We have realized though that he already might be a little Erik. The whole time he kept getting into his comfortable position with his arm thrown above his head. If you were to creep on Erik sleeping, that's more than likely what he's doing. Whether or not Trevor will inherit his mouth breathing is a whole other story. 

He was so adorable. He kept throwing his legs up to grab his toes. That made him seem like such a little person! He did a little amniotic drinking and you would see his little tongue come out of his mouth while he took some gulps. He moved around a bunch and apparently wanted us to know that he is a boy. The technician said that he likes to have his legs wide open, so we got quite the view. I can't wait to see his little face and watch his little personality form. I think he's going to be a little goof ball 

Iike his dad. I can't wait!

Anyway, my baby shower is in 8 days at Julia Reiniche's house starting at 2. I can't wait to see everyone there! I will Skype you, Mom, so be around! 

29 weeks.

In 8 weeks, I'll be full-term. My baby man will be done cooking and could technically come out any time. But I have 11 weeks until my due date, which is insane. Today at our appointment, we discusses the birth a little bit. As long as I'm at least 37 weeks, I call when my water breaks (unless it's night, then I call in the morning) or I call after contractions that are 1 minute in length, 3-4 minutes apart for 2 hours straight. They asked who would be in the delivery room, which will be Erik, of course, and Julia to take photos. My appointments now are every 2 weeks and they are ultrasounds. I can't wait to see him, it's been forever! I really need to schedule my 3D ultrasound. That's about it!

How far along? 29 weeks

Total weight gain: 19 lbs - this third trimester ain't playing.

Stretch marks? Yes, they've become very apparent on my belly as of recently. In fact, my midwife lifts my shirt to see the marks and looked pretty surprised. I'm not huge, so it's kind of strange, but my skin is just stretch mark prone. Yes, before another person tells me to put on lotion, I do, everyday. I'm okay with my stretch marks, even if they bring me down sometimes. I'm making a human; I'm creating my son, which is worth it.

Sleep? I'm always tossing and turning and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm up for good. I have a feeling it's going to get harder.

Best moment this week: my appointment today :)

Miss Anything? Fitting into clothes. I was trying on coats today and my belly said, "nope".

Movement: All the time. I'm not sure he sleeps anymore, but I'm not complaining. I love his little pokes. I don't, however, love when he jabs me in what feels like an organ.

Food craving: Pizza products. Cheese. Milk. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Labor Signs: Nope.

Symptoms: the normal aches. Still no heartburn, headaches or other lame symptoms. Although, I am ALWAYS hungry.

Belly Button in or out? Barely in.

Looking forward to: my ultrasound in 2 weeks and my baby shower the day after :)

Our Baby in Veggie/Fruit/Food Term? Idk, all my apps are different, but he's getting big :)
