30 Weeks
10 weeks to go! I had a slight freak-out about that number the other day. In weeks it doesn't seem like a long time, but when you put it in months, it's not so bad. 2 1/2 months to go. That doesn't sound as soon as 10 weeks. I still can't believe it though. I remember the day that I took the pregnancy test and what I did that day like it was yesterday.
We had a great Christmas and New Year's. My brother was out here for almost 2 weeks,
so we got to spend some good time with him. I was off from work, so that also helped. It was nice to be able to relax. Although I didn't sleep in much, it was nice not to have to get up and get ready for work right away, but to have some time in the morning to hang out.
One New Year's Eve I actually stayed up until midnight. I didn't think I'd make it. It was fun to see the ball drop this year. Last year we didn't stay up because we were going to go skiing the next day, so we went to bed early. I got to enjoy "special apple juice" with my niece. (That's what she calls Martinelli's - spelling?).
Well, anyway, not much else is new. We've got family coming in next week for my shower. I am excited to get to see people we didn't get to see over Christmas. Well, on to my weekly quiz.
30 Week Quiz
How far along: 30 weeks and 0 days today
Weight gain: I am up 24 1/2 pounds now.
Maternity clothes: I actually wore a pair of "big pants" today. Of course they don't button, but I could still zip up the fly and they were fine with the belly band. My favorite item to wear though is my maternity jeans. I just love how comfortable they are and how stretchy.
New Baby Items: Nothing new this week. Although Artie and I do have to go in search of a "coming home outfit". Maybe sometime this weekend we'll do that.
Stretch marks: No. I heard that the line on the belly indicates that you're having a boy. I'm not sure now true that statement is or not. We will certainly find out. Anyone have any input on this one?
Sleep: Sleep is okay. I went to bed at 8:30 last night, but was ready for bed at 7:00. I know, I'm pathetic.
Best moment of the week: I think that the best moment of the week is realizing how big the baby is and continuing to feel it kick or punch, I'm not sure which one.
Movement: Yeah, I get beat up from the inside on a daily basis!
Food cravings: I want pizza right now. I never did get it the time before when I wanted it, so I think that doesn't help.
Labor signs: No, but still having braxton hicks contractions. They aren't really painful, but they certainly aren't comfortable.
Belly button in or out: It's still in.
What I miss: I miss having energy.
What I'm looking forward to: I'm looking forward to finishing up the baby's room, which includes getting rid of all the painting supplies.
Weekly wisdom: Trust. It will all work out!
Milestones: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

I had the lina nigra, and you know what I had. The line goes away too. :)
