30 Weeks

How Far Along: Last Saturday marked 30 weeks

Size of Baby: Approx 3.5 pounds

Weight Gain: 28 lbs 

Stretch Marks: Nope!

Maternity Clothes:  Practically everything at this point is maternity.  Funny story: I attended the NC Blogger Buzz in Raleigh Friday night at Vestique.  Of course I fell in love with a top and thought I would treat myself to it for after baby.  I decided to go in the fitting room and try it on the top half of my body to make sure it would fit after (warning: blatant honesty to follow) considering at least 2 pounds if not more of my weight gain is currently sitting on that part of my body.  Ha!  What a laugh.  Who knows what size I will wear after baby considering the size of those suckers.  Unfortunately, I left without the top, but I will definitely order it once I can figure out the proper size!  Almost had to ask for assistance to remove it while in the dressing room!

Gender:  Sweet baby boy!

Movement:  He rests for long periods of time, but then I feel him a lot in between his rest.

Sleep: Sleeping better than I have been, but always feeling slightly tired.

Missing:  Wine.  Particularly Chianti and the seasonal wines from Duplin.  And probably because I couldn't sample any of the new ones while at the Holiday Market Saturday.

Loving:    The cooler weather that the the north has brought in.  It's right up my alley and puts me in the holiday spirit instantly.  

Craving:   Not too much now. Still loving a cup of cocoa with marshmallows and I finally got my caramel apple.

Feeling: Happy and starting to relax now that we are making headway on the nursery.  It's starting to come together.  Excited for the holiday season.

Looking Forward: Getting the fabric in I ordered for the crib bedding so I can start working on that.  Also excited for our family shower this Saturday!  

Best Moment(s):   Sunday we put together the rocking chair and foot stool for the nursery.  I organized the baby clothes we have into what he can wear the first 6 months and the last 6 months of his first year.  I got my fabric in a bin and organized my maternity clothes (didn't realize how many I had acquired) into bins as well.  We just realized if he decides to make his appearance early, we are ready minus a few essentials that we hope to get at showers, but if nothing else - daddy will go  get a carseat and stroller while I'm at the hospital.  Yay!

I won this incredible scarf at the NC Blog Buzz Friday night.
