30 Weeks

Three-quarters of the way to meeting my baby girl! Apparently she's the size of a cabbage. I'm guessing she's around 3 lbs by now. Based on what I saw at the 4D ultrasound, 2 lbs of her are her cheeks. :)

I had my 30 week midwife appointment today. I'm still measuring at 30, which puts me right on track. (I was measuring at 30 two weeks ago as well.) I put on 2 more lbs for a grand total of 31 lbs at 30 weeks. Her heartbeat is at 140 and the midwife also believes she's head down now.

No new symptoms. I'm still battling the round ligament pain and constant peeing. I move like an elephant in slow motion, and when I'm on my back, I'm definitely a turtle who's landed on her shell. I get swollen ankles and feet when I'm doing a lot of walking.

We really haven't made much nursery progress other than getting the rug. My dad is coming over this weekend to help me hang curtain rods, and then I'll be testing out some curtains. We're also going to try finding her, and maybe us, a dresser.

We have our maternity session coming up on Sunday, and I'm so anxious. I set really high expectations for myself when I book a pro shoot, and I spent three hours in the mall tonight trying to find a new dress with absolutely no luck. I hate when I have a vision that I can't make work. So I'm going to try to use what I have. I'm also coming equipped with lots of different props, so maybe that will disguise any poor choices in wardrobe I make.

Invites arrived today for my baby shower which will be in three weeks!
