| Here's mama at 30 weeks |
How far along: 31 weeks + 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: +18 pounds
Maternity clothes: If we are going out I "try" to make somewhat of an effort putting on something cute. But for the most part when we are home or just running errands I stay in my trusty yoga pants and tshirts!
Stretch marks: I have a few from Josh but I don't think I've gotten anymore yet!
Sleep: It's been fairly good the past couple of weeks. Occasionally when I wake up to go to the bathroom it will take me a while to get back to sleep due to hunger, heartburn, powerful kicks, etc.
Best moment this week: Super happy to receive the news that I passed my glucose test and my iron level is good! Also my vital signs continue to be great (I struggled with high bp with Josh), which is great news!
Miss anything: I miss being able to bend over and hold Josh on my lap without him slipping off :)
Movement: Definitely feeling movement several times a day, usually early morning, after meals and at bedtime. She also gets hiccups pretty frequently which I find adorable!
Food cravings: This week I've wanted potstickers! I'm still craving berries on the regular too!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Heartburn is rearing its ugly head again so sometimes indigestion makes me feel kinda sick. I keep Tums with me at all times!
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes! Giant whale status (not really, but that's what I feel like!) Everyone tells me I'm tiny still. My belly measured at 29 cm my last appointment (when I was 30 weeks) so right on track. I always measured 1-2 cm behind with Josh as well.
Gender: Girlie Girl!
Labor Signs: Maybe some Braxton Hicks? I can't tell sometimes if my belly is tight because of L moving something around, or because it's contracting. Either way, nothing painful.
Symptoms: Some lower back pain, round ligament pain when I roll over in bed, heartburn and my nose has been stuffy. I haven't experienced any swelling yet which is wonderful!
Belly button in or out: Out
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy for the most part. Towards the end of the day my patience is usually pretty thin. My poor hubby often is the recipient of that (sorry babe!)
Looking forward to: Starting on Lylah's nursery (I've been Pinteresting up a storm!), going on a weekend getaway with my hubby in a couple weeks, and my baby shower next month!

Josh Update
Josh is keeping us laughing (and praying) these days! We are in the midst of figuring out the whole potty vs diaper thing (we still don't think he's quite ready but he's successfully tried a couple times). He loves playing cars and legos and watching "McQueen". He also loves turning music (which he calls mucus) on and dancing around. We read our big brother book almost every day and we got him a little baby to practice holding and sharing Mommy's attention with. He's talking in full (hilarious) sentences and is quite the social guy. We are so excited to watch him become a big brother!

| Getting a cake pop (which he LOVES) after going with Mommy to check on baby Lylah |
We are registered at the hospital, have chosen our pediatrician, and Mommy is finishing up her job at the school this month. Once I settle on a nursery color for the walls (hopefully this week!) we will be painting and getting little girl's room ready!
*A lot of people have asked me my birth plan this time around. Well, my only "plan" is to have a healthy baby and get her out when it's time, however that needs to happen. My course of action right now is to try for a VBAC, unless I begin to have complications or if I'm not progressing enough. If that's the case, then we will have another c-section. Either way is completely fine with me! I trust my doctor completely and know she will make the right call. We are trusting God to bring Lylah to us in his perfect way and timing!
