How far along? 30 weeks...OH BOY!
Total weight gain/loss: I have no idea because I'm not at home.
How Big is Baby?: Still a squash
Maternity clothes? outside of some yoga pants thats all I wear
Stretch marks? Yup my belly is getting quite large.
Sleep: Sleep is good in the beginning of the night but I'm starting to get uncomfortable.
Best moment this week: My baby shower.
Movement: Lots. I'm guessing it was the cold that slowed it down because baby is a gymnast in there now.
Food cravings: Fruit.
Gender: 10 weeks. Okay offically starting to freak out.
Labor Signs: Still BH, hopefully no labor for 7 more weeks.
Belly Button in or out? Barely in.
What I am looking forward to: Going home!!! Setting up the nursery furniture, organizing the closet and all the awesome gifts I received and putting the baby stuff together (bouncer, swing, etc)
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. I think it's been the hardest part of the pregnaancy for me.
Milestones: As baby's skin smoothes out, her brain just keeps getting more wrinkled. All those grooves and indentations increase surface area, meaning more room for that oh-so-essential brain tissue. She's also adding some brawn -- her grip is now strong enough to grasp a finger.

29 Weeks
How far along? 29 Weeks..time is flying by!
Total weight gain/loss: At my 28 weeks appointment I had lost 2 lbs.
How Big is Baby?: Finally a squash!
Maternity clothes? loving them.
Stretch marks? Yup, I swear I woke up Sunday morning and it was like my belly doubled in size and now i have the stretchmarks around my belly button.
Sleep: I think I'm getting into the 3rd tri sleep and it is really hard to come by even with medication.
Best moment this week: Passing my GTT test.
Movement: Still kicking. baby loves the middle of the night. I woke up at 3am on Saturday night and cookie kicked for like 30 minutes straight! Baby has been up in my ribs lately, however it seems to be mostly the left side thankfully.
Food cravings: Fruit.
Gender: 11...whoa.
Labor Signs: Just Braxton Hicks. lets home no real labor for at least 8 weeks!
Belly Button in or out? Still hanging in.
What I am looking forward to: getting the nursery finished. we painted (I need time for the color to grow on me) and now the trim needs to get put up and then we can assemble the furniture!
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. (yes still the same)
Milestones: Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath his skin. And since he's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs.

Good News!
Yesterday I had my 28 week appointment and it consisted of the usual weight, bp, finding the baby's heartrate (145) and then the dreaded 1 hour glucose tolerance test. This is the preliminary test for gestational diabetes. If you fail you have to do the 3 hour test. I had to drink this awful Glucola that tasted like those ice pops in the bags (Flav-a-ice) only melted.
And the good news is I passed!!! I have no evidence of Gestational Diabetes or Anemia.

28 Weeks!
How far along? 28 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About the same
How Big is Baby?: Still an eggplant.
Maternity clothes? All the time.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Now I have an earach. sleep is still hard to come by.
Best moment this week: Getting our glider.
Movement: A little slower now, maybe the baby is just running out of room.
Food cravings: Still fruit. Banana milkshake at steak and shake yesterday....yumm!
Gender: 12 more weeks, I think once this number hits 10 I will officially freak out.
Labor Signs: No way.
Belly Button in or out? Still hanging in.
What I am looking forward to: finally getting over this cold and getting my GD test over with tomorrow.
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Milestones: Baby's lungs are mature enough that, if born right now, she has a pretty good chance of surviving (with help from medical technology). Her skin is still pretty wrinkly (one byproduct of living in amniotic fluid) but will smoothen as fat continues to deposit.
Total weight gain/loss: About the same

3rd Trimester is finally here!
How far along? 27 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: About the same
How Big is Baby?: Still an eggplant.
Maternity clothes? All the time.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: If it wasn't for this stupid cold maybe I would be sleeping.
Best moment this week: Hmm...getting carpet!
Movement: Pretty consistently.
Food cravings: Fruity sweets. I bought margarita jello last night.
Gender: 13 more weeks. that's getting really close!
Labor Signs: No way.
Belly Button in or out? Still in thankfully
What I am looking forward to: getting well.
Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Milestones: Baby's lungs are going through some major developments these days, which (combined with the opening of previously plugged nostrils) means he's now able to practice inhaling and exhaling. The lack of air in your womb means every "breath" is filled with amniotic fluid, but hey -- it's progress.
