30 Weeks

I had my first baby shower for Connor this weekend! It was so much fun! It was in Meridian and primarily close friends and family. Jennifer designed the entire shower and it turned out so cute! She really put a lot of thought and hard work into making it perfect! The theme was "C is for Connor" so all of the food and decor started with a "C". My hostess' included my sister Jennifer and mom, my best friends, Lauren, Laura, and Meredith, and Cheryl, Gail, and Alice. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life that care about me so much! The hostess' all went in together to get my infant car seat! What an awesome gift!! I also got a bouncer and swing, lots of clothes, bottles, bibs, diapers, and wipes! It was really a wonderful shower and I thank everyone for all they have done for me!

Pregnancy Highlights: 

How Far Along: 30 weeks

Size of Baby: The size of head of lettuce, 18 inches, 3.2 pounds 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 23 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Scrub pants are finally getting a little snug. Still wearing them though. On the weekends, I wear my maternity tights which are so comfy! Thank goodness over sized silky shirts are in style because I have bought several of these to wear with my tights.  

Gender: It's a BOY!

Movement: All day long it seems like Connor is kicking and punching me!

Sleep: Sleep was a little better this week. I think I have just become exhausted though so that is helping.  Still sleep with lots of pillows around me to help support my back. 

Cravings/Aversions: Still really haven't had any crazy cravings/aversions. 

Emotions: Overwhelmed. Can't believe I'm down to the single digits now for Connor's arrival.  

What I Miss: Running. I have been doing the elliptical and power class 2-3x/wk (on a good week) but miss my running! 

Symptoms: Mid back and low back pain, heart burn, and indigestion. 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Finishing the nursery. Jennifer and mom are coming in town this weekend to help me decorate!
