30 Weeks!



How far along: 30 Weeks
Baby size: 17 inches long, 3.1 lbs (about the size of a butternut squash)
Maternity clothes: My favorite is my little black maternity dress. I wear it almost every Sunday.
Stretch marks: Nope but I lotion morning and night. It is getting pretty itchy.
Sleep: It is not going well. Some days are better than others though...
Gender: A strong little girl!
Best moment this week: Finding out that baby girl is going to be getting another Barrick cousin! Brandon and Megan are expecting a little one in DECEMBER. Seriously best news of this summer probably. (At least in the past couples of unfortunate weeks we have been experiencing here in MD).
Looking forward to: For the next four weeks I will be looking forward to going back to Pittsburgh. It's just been a rough summer and I miss my home. I miss my bed. I am craving getting settled into our new apartment. I am really in the nesting phase but I am not in my nest.
What I miss: Home. I also miss bending over or reaching down. The little bump is making it more difficult but mostly uncomfortable. I feel like I am squishing baby girl too much.
Movement: Yes. She is really active some days and other days is cool just chilling and being calm. It is weird when she has been super active for a few days and then she is super not for a few but it has kind of been a pattern so I don't worry about it too much. It could also be that somedays I really notice her movements and other days I do not.
Food cravings: Donuts, Burgatory, grapes, things I don't have to prepare, things that aren't good for you.
Aversions: I wouldn't say I have aversions but recently I haven't had much of an appetite.
Nursery: I feel like we finally have all of the big furniture items picked out we are just playing the waiting game to get back to Pittsburgh and buy them/ set them up (which will probably end up being Daniels job). I think next weekend we will buy the dresser and then we will get the crib and chair when we go back for good.
Miscellaneous: I am so thankful that I have been blessed with such a smooth pregnancy. With all the things around me that are going horribly wrong it makes me a thousand percent more thankful that this pregnancy has been so smooth and I pray it continues to go that way.
