Pregnancy Update: Week 30

July 24, 2014 | fitness, pregnancy

 

30weeks bump

Symptoms: I feel bad complaining but I just feel big and slow and tired. I know it’s just going to get worse, but we just have a lot going on in our lives right now trying to move and get settled, so hopefully once that happens I can rest more (physically and mentally!) and prepare for baby M! I noticed it is getting much harder for me to do simple things like get out of bed, stand up out of a chair, roll over in bed at night etc. Also my hips have started aching regularly and I am trying to sit more/put my feet up.

Baby’s size: Cucumber/large cabbage

Let’s compare, 20 weeks to 30 weeks…..

20weeks bump 30weeks bump

Whoa, baby! 10 weeks makes a big difference! And to think I thought I was “huge” at 20 weeks! Ha!

Maternity Clothes: Still refusing to buy anything new, although I am having a hard time fitting into shorts now. I wear the same 2 paid over and over, and same pair of denim shorts and capris. Trying to make them last!

Stretch marks: Nothing new but I don’t check super close

Sleep: Oy. So up and down. Two day ago I was wide awake at 3:15, finally got out of bed at 5:00 when I realized I was tired of staring at the ceiling. Then last night I actually had a decent sleep, so confusing!

Miss anything: Feeling normal, running, good sleep.

30weeks preggo

Cravings: Same (I’m so boring) carbs, chocolate, frozen things

Aversions: large meals, that’s about it.

Looking forward to: MOVING! Yes my friends, we will be in a permanent home as of next Wednesday!

What I’m loving: Pinning nursery ideas, so much fun to think about and I can’t wait to nest!

Workouts: Just walking this week, I try to go every other day between 1-2 miles. Also doing stretches and a few leg exercises like squats, leg lifts, etc.

QOTD: Did you go all out decorating a nursery? Did you make a lot of things or just buy stuff?

Anyone else craving frozen things? Maybe it’s just because it’s summer and has nothing to do with pregnancy!

    Still glowing & looking great. Only 2 and 1/2 more months to go until you get to meet your sweet baby 🙂

    As for our nursery – I imagine we will go big, but not oh my gosh this looks ridiculous big. Settle & beautiful

    You look great! But ugh the pregnancy hip pain is the WORST. I still remember walking to the buses from the finish line of Wine and Dine and stopping to take sitting breaks bc the pain was unbearable!

    Only a couple more months! You can do it! 🙂

    i’m terrible at decorating and don’t like it at all lol my mom and sister designed our nursery and still… almost 4 months later… there’s barely anything on the walls. my mom literally JUST hung a large canvas of william above his crib and then a needlepoitned abc thing from when i was growing up on a different wall!

      too funny!

    So close to the finish line now! For our nursery for our first kid, I bought pretty much gender neutral it is a lime and yellow colored theme and the bedding I bought 6 of the same sheets because I planned on using the same bedding for all the kids we would eventually have. So I decided that when we do have a girl i will just use the red that is the accent color (a bird on the theme) as more decorations for our girl. Saved us a ton of money for #2 not having to buy ANYTHING! but the teal and bright pink is super cute and popular now! We got Pottery Barn bedding too because they LAST.

    Cat/cow and wag the tail were my favorite exercises to do to help with my hip pain. (and during labor too!)

    I was pregnant in the summer with B and ate half a watermelon every day!

      yum!

    Wow! What a difference in 10 weeks! You are still precious and just glowing! I remember the hip pain so well. Man it hurts so bad! I loved decorating the nursery! I’m not creative so I just bought things for it. And cravings..with my first one I craved birthday cake! I think I ate like 4 pieces in one sitting one time! And that’s why I gained so much weight with him! The second time around I don’t really remember craving anything. I also didn’t gain as much weight either lol!

    • Heather says

      July 25, 2014 at 9:25 am

      I love me some cake!

    I love when they quote baby sizes with fruits and veggies. As soon as I read this, I immediately pictured a baby in the shape of a cucumber (super awkward baby) and then a sumo baby cabbage haha

    • Heather says

      July 25, 2014 at 9:25 am

      I know they crack me up, too.

    You look great, Heather! I’m craving frozen things and I’m not PG! It’s summer. As much as you miss running, just enjoy being pregnant and resting. The running will be there and you’ll get back to it in no time!

  12. Brynn says

    July 24, 2014 at 3:12 pm

    I miss my typical workouts the most. I can still do some running but nothing like pre-pregnancy. We are in the final stretch now!

    • Heather says

      July 25, 2014 at 9:23 am

      I know! I am so ready to get back to normal with workouts.

    What a difference a few weeks makes! You’re looking great…and she will be here so soon! I can’t wait to see what you come up with for her nursery…it’s going to be adorable!! 😀

    • Heather says

      July 25, 2014 at 9:21 am

      I wish I was creative like you, it would look a lot better!

    Such an adorable belly you have!!! I went all out with planning a nursery and I did end up buying a lot, but that was years ago before I was really into Pinterest….so I think if things were different I would be pinning away!!! 🙂

😎 90’s summer loading….. If you grew up in 😎 90’s summer loading…..

If you grew up in the 90’s like me, you know we had THE BEST summers. They were simple, but magical. Yes sometimes we got bored and fought with our friends, but the freedom and fun was so memorable. 

In today’s world of screen time and filling every second of the day with “fun” for our kids so they never have to be bored, it makes me sad that they won’t experience what we did. So I am trying to recreate a 90’s summer the best way I can.

Will we still travel? Of course, it’s my job. But when we are home, I’m not filling every second with fun. I’m making her figure it out. Read a book. Do some chores. Then just…go. Play. Be a ten year old while I work. Then in the evenings we can play some more, together, while I tell stories of all the crazy and fun things I did as a kid during those special 90’s summers. ☀️ 🩷
