How far along? 30 weeks!! (July 18th) (don’t love my hair in this one… but traveling from my house to Jord’s for the pic in 115 degrees= gross/sweaty hair! ha)
Total weight gain: not sure…? Maybe 18 now or more? Feels like more depending on the day! Hard to believe I could get any bigger!
Maternity clothes? Yes- pretty much all maternity now…my fav around the house wear are Chase’s soft t-shirts!
Stretch marks? None so far!
Sleep: great still
Best moment this week: Seeing Lydia move from the outside! I want to try and get it on video to share… we’ll see if I can catch it in time!
Miss Anything? Being able to just sit on the couch without having to readjust my position constantly because it is hard to breathe or I can’t get comfortable – but I wouldn’t trade being pregnant or getting to be Lydia’s momma for anything J
Movement: Lots! Esp when we watch loud movies… she moves almost the entire time we watch movies… I tell Chase she is his daughter for sure cuz he loves movies- I think it could watch one everyday if I said yes.
Food cravings: milk, pickles, and popsicles
Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing really, but still just avoiding most Arab food
Gender: girl!
Labor Signs: Nope- feeling the Braxton Hicks contractions, but no pain… just tightness
Symptoms: earaches, shortness of breath, achy lower back if I have been standing all day or walking a lot, heartburn
Belly Button in or out? OUT! When Kead & Sayla (my friend Jordan’s girls) saw my belly button sticking out for the first time the said, “Look Brittany Wydia (what Sayla calls her) is pushing your belly button out!!” and then giggle!- love it
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but feeling my moodiness creep back similar to first trimester… where sometimes I am super happy and love living here and then the next day (or minute) I just want to lay on the couch and take the first plane home to America… or not get up from my bed with the A/C on full blast for an entire afternoon because I can’t cool off!
Looking forward to: my momma (Grami) coming in 59 days!! (not that we are counting…) She bought her plane tickets and will get here September 20th—I told Lydia she can come greet us on September 24th after mom and I have a few days to get stuff ready & she sees me preggo… we will see how well she listens 😉
P.s. We are praying that Lydia has eyesight like her daddy… even though I am not exactly 20/400… I might as well be- ha
Pepcid AC was my bestie during the last trimester-helped the heartburn and reflux a TON! 🙂 Yay for Baby Lydia!!!
You’re looking so great Brittany! Hopefully Lydia listens and arrives on the 24th. 🙂 For m’s birth, mom arrived on a Friday and m was born early Monday morning. It was perfect! This time she arrives in Oz on September 21st. I can’t believe how HOT it is there. Stay in that air con and eat all the ice and popsicles you can.
