30 Weeks!

How far along? 30 weeks! Holy cow! 
Maternity clothes? Yep, still mixing and matching maternity and non maternity. My belly is getting out of control! I wore the same dress this morning that I did in my 30 week photo with Hudson. And now it’s confirmed…..big mama on board. Let’s hope I loose the weight by breastfeeding again this time or I’m in for a world of hurt.
Stretch marks? Nope, thank goodness.
Sleep: Thanks to a special two and a half year old little boy, I’m not sleeping so well at night. Last night he woke up crying because there were bugs in his bed (there weren’t) and he missed mommy (awwww….now go back to sleep.)
Best moment this week: Buying a few new baby things. I have cute pajamas for a boy and for a girl. I’m all set for clothes for the most part if it’s a boy, but wanted something new for him anyway. And I have one outfit and a few headbands if it’s a girl. Needless to say some crazy shopping will have to take place online from my hospital bed if we end up having a girl!
Miss Anything? Sleeping. Just sleeping. 
Movement: Yep, lots of movement up in here! And it feels so different this time around. I think (or at least I’m hoping) it’s because this baby is head down. I’m feeling lots of rapid kicks high on my stomach where as last time I felt a big old head high up. Fingers crossed he/she is head down.
Food cravings: Juice! And give me all the fruit.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, thank goodness! 
Gender: We’ll find out in June!
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: Holy heartburn. It has woken me up in the middle of the night, which I don’t remember happening last time. 
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Pretty good overall. I just want this baby to get here!
Looking forward to:  Picking out a name and starting to work on the baby’s nursery. I’m such a procrastinator!

    I wore that same dress while I was pregnant with my son, born Aug. 2012, and my daughter, born Aug. 2014. Dresses are AWESOME when you're pregnant!

    You look great, lady! Love that color on you! Hope the heartburn goes away!

    I'm definitely feeling bigger this time for sure! And have already hit the total gain I had with Caleb – and still have 5 weeks to go! Sigh. I'm hoping for the breastfeeding weight loss too:) You look great, Julie. And I'm so excited that you guys are waiting to find out. If we decide to have three kids, we may wait to find out as I think it'd be so fun!

    How in the world are you 30 weeks already?! I feel like we just found out! 🙂 You look absolutely beautiful Julie, seriously. You rock at pregnancy! So glad you're feeling good!

    You look adorable! Love that dress too. I can't believe you're 30 weeks already!

    They say severe heartburn= more hair on baby. I thought I had it bad with my first but boy I was wrong! Second daughter gave me such bad heartburn AND still surprised us when she was born with a full head of black hair! You look great Julie.

  8. Ashley @ Words About Waverly says

    March 31, 2015 at 5:07 pm

    You look great!!! LOVE that you are waiting to find out, cannot wait to hear!

    Welcome to the 30's!!! The land of "holy crap I don't have as much time left as I thought"

    I'm definitely feeling the same way about my size this time, bigger and bigger and yeah….all i did was breastfeed to lose weight last time. If that doesn't work I'll be a sad panda for sure.

  10. Tara says

    March 31, 2015 at 6:11 pm

    Love that dress! You look amazing! I think it's so fun that you're waiting to find out… if I have another baby, I might try to wait too (but then I might make myself crazy wondering, haha)!

  11. bev says

    You are beautiful inside and out!

    Forgive me for not searching for your "names" post, but I just popped into my head that my friend has a Hudson and his little bro is Spencer. I think that combo is adorable!

  13. Carolyn says

    March 31, 2015 at 7:17 pm

    You look great mama! 🙂 I'm so excited for the movements to start up again – definitely one of my favorite parts!

  14. Hannah says

    March 31, 2015 at 7:51 pm

    You look so cute!! I love that dress and wish I had one like it! Buying baby clothes is so much fun, I'm glad you got a few new things for your baby. And if it's a girl, I'm sure you will have tons of fun picking out all of the adorable little clothes for her!! One day I hope I'll get to do that 🙂

    You are just the cutest! I cringe thinking about what I looked like at 30 weeks. I had sausage toes and fingers. So swollen. Have you seen my pregnancy journey blog post? If you ever need a good laugh, go look that one up. So happy that you are feeling well. Not much longer! 🙂

30 Weeks

Photobucket
How far along? 30 weeks. Only 10 more to go! This pregnancy is going by so fast.
Maternity clothes? Still a mix.
Stretch marks? Nope. For those who’ve asked I’m using Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter.
Sleep: Knock on wood, but I’m still sleeping great. 
Best moment this week:  Finally finishing our birthing class. My poor husband thought it was torture! It really wasn’t that bad but so much of it is common sense. We didn’t really learn much. I know everyone goes to a class and I’m glad we did, but looking back we could have totally skipped it. I am thankful that after the class I have more confidence in myself…..I know now I want to move around and try to progress as much as I can before the pain gets too great and I ask for an epidural. 
Miss Anything? Not really. 
Movement: Yes, he’s still a wiggle worm. My doctor said yesterday it looks like he’s butt first. I was a breech baby and so was the husband. Let’s hope our little guy moves and isn’t as stubborn as his parents!
Food cravings: Ice cream! And lots of fruit.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Gender: Baby boy

 Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: My only “symptom” is a big pregnant belly.
Belly Button in or out? In, but it’s getting more shallow. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Good. I still feel the itch to decorate and re-do my entire house!

Looking forward to: Relaxing this weekend and enjoying some ice cream!

And just for fun….10 weeks, 20 weeks, and 30!

    I love that you're craving ice cream! That would be one of the best things about being preggers is the cravings- haha. You're still so cute and I cannot wait to see that precious little man of yours!!! 🙂

    Julie, everytime I see your updates it amazes me how quickly time is flying! I feel like i just found out you were pregnant. We are expecting our little guy August 20th, but are scheduled a bit earlier for a section and I can relate to all of your updates. Especially the ice cream and fruit cravings. I can't get enough of either.

    Hope all is well!

  5. Michelle @ The Vintage Apple says

    June 28, 2012 at 1:52 pm

    Oh my goodness Julie! You are radiant!!! And you are SO GOOD about posting (and taking) pics of your progress!!! I have taken a few, but I keep bugging the husband and telling him I need a chalkboard like you 🙂

    Thanks for always sharing your progress!!!

    You look amazing! We went to our first baby class last weekend and we felt the same way. We almost left half way through but didn't want to be "that couple". Only 10 weeks to go!!

  8. Joeylee says

    It really DOES seem like it's flying by for you! You are glowing, momma!! I hope you get to enjoy lots of ice cream this weekend 😉

  10. KRISTIN says

    June 28, 2012 at 2:12 pm

    Look at that belly! You look amazing–preggo glow for sure! Although, I'm starting to doubt it's real…I think it's just that we get sweaty so much easier 🙂 Not that you look sweaty! We are signing up for prenatal classes soon, I'm excited bcs labor scares the crap out of me, but I really don't want to spend all that time and money if it's stuff I could just learn online. Thoughts?

  11. erin vancura says

    June 28, 2012 at 2:14 pm

    Only 10ish more weeks to go! I wish I could come and rub that belly and say hi to your baby boy!! And yay ice cream 🙂

    I love the 10, 20 and 30 week comparison. You are right, it does seem to be flying by! He will be here before we know it! 🙂

    You are the cutest pregnant woman! I love the dress.

    And we were totally the rebels who skipped the birthing class. I heard from everyone I knew they didn't learn a thing. And the way I figured, I was giving birth, class or no class! 🙂 It all worked out fine.

  21. Classy Fab Sarah says

    June 28, 2012 at 7:14 pm

    Your belly looks so great, LOVE the dress!

    June 28, 2012 at 9:21 pm

    You look great! I've got my birthing class coming up soon. Wonder what my husband will think. 🙂

  25. Ashley says

    June 28, 2012 at 9:31 pm

    You look like you've only gained in your belly – no where else! 🙂

    What kind of class did you guys take? I am debating whether or not to take one..

  26. Lori says

    June 29, 2012 at 1:44 am

    You have to be one of the cutest pregnant women ever! So cute!

  27. bev says

    June 30, 2012 at 2:24 am

    You're glowing! I am so thankful that you are enjoying this very special time in your life.
    Love you!

    PS You got more out of the childbirth class than you realize. Every bit of knowledge adds to your confidence and that will make you stronger and more successful with labor.

  28. Alexa says

    July 2, 2012 at 3:54 am

    Oh you look adorable! It's going by fast! 🙂 Now that Natasha had her boy, I'll have to make sure to pop in here for pregnancy progress! 🙂
