Week 30 Belly Update

Total weight gain:

Over 20 pounds…

Body changes:

Tighter lower back. Bigger belly.

Sleep: 

OK but not great. My lower back and hips are really tight

in the morning and sometimes throughout the night. I have to pee so much during the night making me constantly wake up…

Best moment this week: 

Celebrating Christmas with family in Atlanta and at home in Miami.

Gender: 

Boy.

Food Cravings / Aversions: 

Overall I am craving sweets more than sour things now. I still need my OJ in the morning. Coffee. I’m really into bread, butter and honey.

What I miss:

Ahhh…at this point I’m really missing my baths, sports, sushi, alcohol and simply not feeling like a whale.

Symptoms:

Hot flashes (I didn’t have that with Maia at all. I was always more cold with her than anything. Now I am constantly feeling warm/hot). Heart burn. U also didn’t have that with Maia but have had it over the past two weeks several times.

Movement: 

Yes a lot. Especially at night when I lay on my sides.

What I am looking forward to:

Finishing the nursery tomorrow (or at least almost)

Going to the movies and dinner with my hubby tomorrow night.

2014 and the birth of our son J

Milestones: 

Week 39 ;)
