30 weeks of belly love, unborn child bribes, and video entertainment

We’ve come a long way baby!

30 weeks – how did you get here so fast?

{Actually, since I’m so slow to post – 30 weeks and 4 days today!}

 

Not the best bump pic from our friends’ wedding this past Saturday – but I do love my sweet friend, Ginny!

 

 

More importantly, how did 30 weeks get here with me still having a to do list a million miles long in preparation for baby, lots of baby books still unread and a nursery that looks like this (!)

Important plea note to Houston: Mommy and Daddy are very much relying and counting on the full 40 weeks of gestation to prep for your arrival. We have only a single piece of furniture in your nursery – a crib. The gorgeous crib bedding I ordered for you isn’t even in it because we don’t have a mattress yet! Your dresser, night stand and book case are all in the garage waiting to be painted, your swivel glider and ottoman were ordered in May and we’re crossing our fingers it’s 8-12 weeks delivery is closer to the 8 than the 12, AND your changing table has yet to be picked out, let alone purchased and assembled yet. Do you get what I’m trying to say here, little guy? 

 

If Houston knew what was good for him, he’d realize it might be a bit cramped in that oven right now, but with the sweet tooth on the mother God gave him, his taste buds have got to be dancing! Once he’s out, he’ll be wishing he was back to cinnamon toast crunch and Double Doozie cookies when it’s nothin’-but-milk for 6 months ;) Stay in there sweet boy, I’ll finish getting ready for you AND fatten you up to adorable proportions =)

 

The little evidence left beside my computer of today’s Double Doozie that Big Daddy brought us home:

 

The 30 week low down:

As of today, I’m up a whopping 28 pounds!! At this rate, I will not stay within the 25-35 pound limits all the books would like to keep my weight gain within. I eat absolutely ANYTHING I want, though it helps that I’m staying pretty darn active – running around like a chicken with it’s head cut-off at work, taking the dog on long walks at home, and working on that big to-do list all keep me from gaining astronomical amounts for the time being.

PRAISE GOD, I’m still sleeping like a rock. Aside from some swelling in my hands and feet and absolutely despising bending down for the one million things I drop each day, I’m feeling great.

I do, however, feel my energy level dropping lower and lower. I fear how completely exhausted {and enormous!} I will be in 6 weeks from now when I’m sure I’ll still have plenty to do and still working a 40 hour energy depleting job. Though I have lots of hope since this pregnancy has already been wonderfully easy, smooth and enjoyable far beyond any expectations I had. We shall see what the little time we have left holds in store for us!
