Bump Day: Week 30


How far along? 30 weeks.  I'm just amazed at how far I've made it.  We are still aiming for 34 weeks, but we are so grateful for how far we have come.

Sleep? Descent sleep at night... waking up to roll over and go to the bathroom.  Trying to get a nap during the day to make up for the lost sleep since the nurses now have to monitor the babies every 8 hours.

Maternity Clothes? Still stylin' the PJ pants and XL t-shirts.

Stretch Marks? Yep, growing every day so I don't think I can stop them now.

Best Moment this week?
1.  Friday, all of my friends came to hang out for a girls night.  We ate Mexican food and talked.  It was really nice to see all of them. 
2.  I got to see Ryley again on Sunday.  I miss my puppy dog so much. 
3.  A work party got together at my house to put all of our baby items away.  The nursery (and the rest of my house) seem to be coming together very nicely.

Miss Anything? An ice cold beer and shoes.

Movement? Oh yea, almost all the time someone is moving around in there.

Size of the Babies? Three Cabbages!

Food Cravings? Chick-fil-A.
Morning Sickness? Nope.

Gender? Three girls.

Bed Rest? Hospital bed rest for 7 weeks, total bed rest 9 weeks.

Limitations?  We are now monitoring the babies' heartrates 3 times per day for an hour (which sometimes increases to close to 2 hours depending on how wiggly the girls are being) so when I have on the monitors, I have to stay still.  So pretty much all I can do during those times is sleep or use my iphone/kindle.  I can't see the tv since I'm lying on my side and eating is pretty much out of the question.  So, I'm more limited than normal during those times.

Labor Signs? Still pretty stable.

Weight Gain? 40 lbs... still not enough, but seems like an awful lot to me.

Pregnancy Symptoms?  SI, pelvic, low back, and hip pain.

Belly Button In or Out? I can't see it anymore... but pretty sure it is still out.

Wedding Rings On or Off? Off but should still fit.

Mood?  Excited.  I'm starting to really think about meeting my girls soon :)

Looking Forward To?  Getting through another week.

What Brian is Saying:  "I'm so proud of you."
