Week 30

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 30 weeks

Size of Baby: About 15.7” long and about 3 lbs. Around the size of a head of cabbage.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: At my doctor’s visit on Monday, I had lost a pound.

Maternity Clothes: I’m wearing mostly maternity jeans or other forgiving pants. I’m still wearing regular tops.

Gender: It’s a girl!! Avery Grace.

Movement: She’s more active in the morning and in the evenings, but she’s pretty laid back I think, not that I have anything to compare her to.

Food Cravings: I don’t have any real cravings right now.

What I Miss: I don’t miss anything.

Sleep: I’m still sleeping great.

Symptoms: Just heartburn.

Best Moment This Week: Well, there was confusion about my gestational diabetes screening. The lab told me it was fine, but my doctor called and said it was border line, and they wanted me to do the three-hour test. I did the test, did not get sick, and I definitely do not have diabetes, so it turned out well.

What I Am Looking Forward To: Chris and I are leaving in the morning for an overnight field trip to Mountain View. We’re going to Greers Ferry to a trout hatchery. Then, we’re going to Blanchard Caverns and to a drive in movie that night. Friday, we’re going to the Ozark Folk Center then back home. Saturday morning, we’re getting up and going to Fayetteville to spend Easter with Chris’ family. It’s a busy few days, but I’m looking forward to some time with Chris.
