30 weeks

How far along: 30 weeks

General feeling: Good, just feeling a little bit tired and big. It's crazy to me that I'm already 30 weeks pregnant... we'll count through the 30s and then, hopefully, not count through too many 40s. Trevor and I are going to birthing classes, and I honestly look forward to it every single week. I'm someone who likes to be super prepared and I figure that more I know about every possible situation, the more confident I'll be when I have to face those situations.
Boy or girl: Boy.

Weight gain: 19 pounds up from pre-pregnancy weight.
Maternity clothes: Still half and half. Today I'm wearing all non-maternity clothes, and they all fit fine and haven't stretched strangely due to my belly. Although when I put my blue knit skirt on this morning, Trevor looked at me and said, "Your belly looks like a globe." Ha.
Innie or outie belly button: Still an innie, but I have no clue how on earth it's still tucked in.

Rings on or off: On
Braxton Hicks: Nothing too much this week.
Movement: Every day. His kicks and stretches are getting stronger. Yesterday I was suddenly poked/punched/kicked so hard I went "Oof." 

Cravings: Nothing crazy.

Sleep: So much better this week. Last week I decided to do some internet research about what do to for leg cramps at night. I was so frustrated since exercise and stretching didn't seem to affect my leg cramps one way or another. I would still wake up regardless of if I worked out hours before going to bed, right before going to bed or not at all that day. I felt so bad for Trevor since I would wake up and wiggle around like crazy trying to make a charley horse go away. I read about putting a bar of soap under your sheets at the foot of your bed, drinking apple cider vinegar, or eating a spoonful of molasses. I decided to try molasses. For the past four or five night, I heat up a mug of milk, add a spoonful of molasses and drink it before I go to bed. Every night I've had molasses I haven't woken up to leg cramps. I read that the iron in molasses helps to combat cramps, and the milk-molasses mixture tastes pretty good too- like the crinkle cookies my grandma use to make. :)

Best moment of this week: Football, homemade soup, and an all-around lazy day on Sunday. When we went over to my parent's for dinner this week, my mom sat down next to me after dinner to see if she could feel my stomach move. When she finally felt a kick, her reaction was wonderful. 

Looking forward to: Hearing if I passed my glucose test this week at my doctor's appointment. I didn't like downing that sugary drink for my one hour test (I chose the fruit punch flavor), and I don't look forward to the three hour test if I didn't pass this shorter one. Fingers crossed for good news this Thursday!
