Pregnancy: 30 Weeks Bump Update

I am officially 3/4 of the way through my third pregnancy and I cannot believe it. I am definitely FEELING it though as things have gotten so uncomfortable. I feel like this is the biggest Ive been so soon in my pregnancies! We do get to see him on ultrasound in a couple of weeks so maybe we can get a weight estimate. This week was a blast with the kids, trick or treating and having some fall fun. I will be busy packing for our next trip over the next two weeks which is super exciting! I just hope I feel well enough to travel so far. Part of me wonders if this little man is going to come early. With that being said, we do not have a lot planned for Christmas besides getting ready for this baby boy to arrive.

How far along? 30 weeks

Baby size: Cabbage

Total weight gain: 26lbs – 154lbs total weight

Maternity clothes? Anything comfortable these days so yes lots and lots of maternity. My belly feels HUGE!

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Not the best. I feel like I am tossing more as I sleep with 3 pillows to stay comfy. Getting out of bed is tough.

Workouts: Going steady and well!

Diet: Diet has been cleaner this week, I feel like! Then again I am not super hungry anymore. I did indulge in some Halloween candy! This baby does like sweets.

Best moment this week: Taking the kids to Halloween events and trick or treating with them. My daughter was Megan, my son was a devil, and my husband and I were Deadpool and Lady Pool. We also went to the Pensacola Interstate Fair.

Miss anything? Not having to pee all the time. Not having my back hurt! Ouchy I feel gross these days.

Food cravings: Not much at all.

Anything making you queasy or sick? No.

Gender: a BOY! 🙂

Labour signs: No!

Symptoms: Heartburn is actually better this week as I have not had to use my TUMS much. Back aches, belly aches.

Belly button in or out? In! It never popped out the last 2 times.

Wedding rings on or off: On.

Notes:

I found out I was pregnant at just 3 weeks of pregnancy after we did our frozen embryo transfer. If you haven’t followed my IVF journey, check out my frozen embryo transfer blog and my egg retrieval blog. Long story short, my husband was infertile due to the structure of his reproductive system-his vas deferens were missing so IVF was the only way and it worked the first try!

I have not been pregnant in 8 years almost so it is wild that I am doing it all over again and hope to do it only fourth and final time in another two-three years. Wish us luck and love! I will be doing these pregnancy progression bump updates weekly so you can “grow” with me along with a bump photo + questions about my pregnancy.
