30 weeks

30 weeks & needing bigger scrubs!

HOW FAR ALONG?: 30 weeks! Wowzers!!! Only 10 to go! Eek! Bright side (besides the obvious): 8 more weeks of work! Wahoo! Actually 7 after Saturday :))))

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?: I go to the doctor tomorrow, we'll see what Thanksgiving did to me. I did step on the scale at home and I had gained 2 pounds in a week and a half so we'll see if I kept it on ;) If so, about 17.5 pounds at this point. 

MATERNITY CLOTHES: I finally caved and bought another pair of pants when we were home. I *needed* some skinny jeans because I can't imagine a winter without my Uggs ;) It's definitely time to get some bigger tops because smalls are no longer cutting it! 

SLEEP?: When we were visiting family it was difficult because I didn't have my pillow nest that I have here and I was tossing every 30 minutes, now I seem to be back to sleeping well. 

BEST MOMENT/S THIS WEEK?: Our week vacation continued in Iowa, Friday we had lunch with my grandma and then spent some time with my brother Chad & his family and then my brother Clint and his daughter Cariin. We also headed up to the 'ol Corner Bar that night with my friends Rachael & Christina - it was pretty lame and we were home by 12:30am ;) Saturday we showed our proposal show at the local theater for friends and family and Sunday my aunts threw a baby shower for me. We are so blessed with the generous people in our lives! Monday it was back to Burbank to relax for a few days before heading back to work Wednesday. 

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?:  I had some major anxiety getting to the airport on Monday. We headed to Des Moines with plenty of time to spare but wanted to have lunch first. Well, it was only 10:30am so we killed some time in Target (darn!) and then went to lunch. Somehow time seemed to slip away and we were booking it to the airport. I think we got there at 12:20 and our flight was to leave at 1:12, I was so nervous that our luggage wouldn't get on the plane. The line at United was so long, but I budged in front of everyone (thanks to early check-in & being a Mileage Plus member) and we made it! Sorry to my Mom for the attitude I gave, I'm not proud of it!

MISS ANYTHING?:  Nothing at the moment.

MOVEMENT?: She's on the move again, back to the big kicks and I think I'm starting to get some elbows to the ribs, but I love feeling her move around in there - I'm sure I'll miss that!

FOOD CRAVINGS?:  No cravings. Although I never did get that Carmel Apple Cider I mentioned last week, we ran out of time. Boo!

LABOR SIGNS?: NO!

SYMPTOMS / MOODS?: The same as before with the constipation and nasal stuffiness, in addition to my left ear does this thing were it feels like it needs to be popped. I can hear my voice in that ear and it's really annoying! I try popping them and it does nothing, it comes and goes. And my gums are still bleeding with flossing. Depending on what side I sleep on my upper thigh/buttock gets a weird 'pain.' It doesn't really hurt, I just have to roll over, I'm not sure what that's about either. 

My mood is excitement and disbelief! I can't believe how fast this is going and that she's going to be here, SOON! No more just Brett & Chayna. That will be such an adjustment since it's just been the two of us for almost 8 years. Crazy... 

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: In.

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On and man were they tight on the flight!

LOOKING FORWARD TO...? Next weekend we are headed to Temecula, CA (the Pechanga Casino) because Brett is booked there for the weekend. Last time we went we had a great time, it was so relaxing and the rooms were nice so I'm hoping not a lot has changed!
