Here we go again: May Update

How far along? 30 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: +18 {good thing I’m tall…I’ve got lots of…err…area to spread out those L-Bs}
Stretch marks? Still none.
Maternity Clothes: All in on the maternity pants, but with this warmer weather I’m getting away with a few non-maternity stretchy skirts. Still about 50/50 on tops.
Sleep: Not that great. Anytime I try to roll over I get shooting pains in my pelvic bone. It’s super fun.
Best moment this month: Hitting the third trimester! This last month has been pretty uneventful, thankfully.
Movement: Still very active.
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: Yes? I think? Maybe? I never had any braxton hicks contractions with Rylee, but I think I’ve been starting to get them the last few weeks.
Food Cravings: The cravings seems to be leveling off this trimester, thankfully…my sweet tooth was out of control last couple of months!
Belly Button in or out? Turkey timer has popped, folks.
What I miss: Sleeping through the night. Bending over easily. Wearing my engagement ring and wedding band.
What I am looking forward to: We are taking Rylee on the sibling hospital tour this weekend! And, I’m pretty sure we’ll start getting her room ready this month. And maybe we’ll finally decide on a name? I thought we had it, but we’re pretty much back to square one.
Baby Milestones: Baby’s bone marrow has taken over production of the red blood cells and her brain is working overtime developing like crazy now. Baby weighs close to 3 pounds at this point and is about 16 inches long.
Other Goodness: We’ve hit the “every other week” appointment mark. I’ll pre-register at the hospital this weekend when we’re there for the tour. I had one “semi-stranger” {someone Andy knew, that I had just met} ask if they could touch my belly…it wasn’t quite as weird as I thought it’d be. That never happened with Rylee. Oh and! I’ve decided I love going out to Andy’s school because all the ladies ask how far along I am then tell me how tiny I am…it’s a nice confidence booster. ;)

    You look great :)

    I don't think I had any stranger belly-touching either… I thought it was a much more prevalent issue from all the complaining I hear about it!
