Whoa, Mama!: 30 Weeks

 How Far Along? 30 weeks! Time is flying. Even though it's unlikely, baby could technically be here in just eight weeks! Wouldn't that be nice (also, scary)? Baby's Size Equivalent? Everyone's favorite gourd: the butternut squash. Maternity Clothes? Still mixing and matching. Can I just say, thank goodness for low-rise jeans. How Are You Sleeping? Pretty well; Colt has graciously allowed me to use him as my body pillow. Ah, young love. Best moment this week? Lots of great things! We've started shopping for baby a little at a time, and it's been so fun getting his things together. My parents came down for a weekend visit, and we knocked a few more things off the list-thanks, Mimi and Papa-Todd! Seeing his room come together and washing his tiny clothes makes me so antsy for him to arrive. Also, it's been fun to see Colt getting excited. He's so pumped for his little buddy to get here :) Weird pregnancy moment? Little boy has started to move differently. He still kicks, pushes, and jabs, but sometimes I feel what can only be described as a wave from one area of my belly to the other. I think it happens when he rolls over. It's a weird cross between cool and creepy. Any Movement: Yep! He still moves a lot, although I tend to feel him more at certain times of day. I think he's getting on a little sleep schedule in there. Also, we play a game when he's moving a lot; I'll push a spot on my belly, and he'll kick in that direction. I push in a different spot, and he'll push back. And if I rest anything on my belly (like my hand, or a book), he kicks at it. Anything making you queasy? No, but I'm still riding the indigestion train. I hate this train. How About Cravings? I wanted Red Robin's Honey Mustard dressing real bad, so I walked into one of their locations a couple days ago and asked if they would give me some. They did-fo' free! No shame.  What I'm Looking Forward To: Deciding on a name. We have a couple favorites, but they change every few weeks or so. I think we need to see what he looks like before we nail it down.
