Each Monday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I've done this with my three previous pregnancies (you can go to the search box and type in "pregnancy," or "week #" if you're interested in how my previous pregnancies progressed), as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.   Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  30 weeks Size of baby:   This little one is a little over 15 1/2 inches long (head to toe) and about the weight of a large cabbage.  Total weight gain/loss :  I'm up 19 pounds total as of my appointment today.  Maternity clothes:   spaghetti strap shirts, loose skirts or summery dresses, cute/comfy shorts, flip-flops, long-sleeve soft, fitted shirts, maternity leggings Gender: ...

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I did this with my pregnancies with Hadley and with Jack, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  30 weeks - Third Trimester Size of baby:   Baby Girl is around 17 inches crown to feet and weighs as much as a butternut squash (about 3 pounds) Total weight gain/loss :  So far, I'm up a lot.  A lot.  20 pounds at least. Maternity clothes:   Anything that still fits over my belly and my behind. Gender:   A sweet baby girl Movement :  Not as much movement during the day, but during my NSTs I feel her a lot.  She has been "stuck" on my right side, head up for a longggggg time.  I'm REALLY hoping she tur...

Hey, y'all, We had our 30 week prenatal appointment and ultrasound today.  Our doctor (whom we didn't see last time) said she was going through withdrawals not seeing us (we've been blessed to see her every single time this pregnancy except for our last appointment)!  We love her!  I wish she could be our pediatrician, too, haha!! I'm measuring right on track (up 18 pounds total--yikes!), and Baby Boy looks great ! He's measuring 3.3 pounds and is growing right on target. He's in the 40th percentile, which is normal. *Bonus* He's already in the right position (head down), so we're good to go there :) We were treated to a long ultrasound, and she even got a couple of great shots for us to keep, including this 4D image (during the ultrasound, the 4D imaging allowed us to watch him suck and smack his lips!). I know some people are having trouble "seeing" him, so here's my best explanation: Most of the picture is of his f...

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a  highlights post , including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from  Kelly .  I did this with my pregnancy with Hadley, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on.  I'll probably write these on Saturday nights and attach the picture the next day.  That way I can stay semi-technology free :) Pregnancy Highlights: How far along :  30 weeks - Third Trimester Size of baby:   Baby Boy is around 17 inches crown to feet and weighs as much as a butternut squash (about 3 pounds) Total weight gain/loss :  So far, I'm up 16 pounds total this pregnancy. Maternity clothes:   I *heart* maternity clothes :) Gender:   A very bouncy baby boy Movement :  I think he's very active.  He doesn't move all day long, but when he gets going, he's a move...
