30 weeks

How Far Along: 30 Weeks

Size of baby: Mason now weighs almost 3 pounds. He's about15.7 inches long from head to heel!

Weight Gain/Loss: 15 pounds

Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes now!

Gender: It's a BOY!! Mason Carter Mitchell

Movement: Mason is moving so much these days. On Sunday (1/30) night Scotty was able to feel Mason really moving around. I was laying on my side and Mason was pushing up. It was like he would stick out his arm and move it around, not just a kick. Scotty thought he was turning flips at first. Scotty decided that Mason was giving him a high five or painting his "room".

Food Cravings: I think I finally had my first crazy pregnancy craving. While at work yesterday afternoon I had a sudden craving for Frosted Flakes cereal. I could just taste the cereal in my mouth with the cold milk! I managed to make it through the day without making a run to the store for cereal, but I sure did want it at the time!

What I miss: The only thing I can think that I miss right now is sleeping on my back.

Sleep: My hips become very sore after a few hours of sleep. I have to switch the side I’m laying on about once an hour. Also, some acid reflux/ heartburn when I lay down. I've been having some strange dreams too. I dreamed that Mason was here and I suddenly realized that I hadn't fed him yet. I tried to breastfeed him, but I had waited too long and my milk had dried up. I was not a good mommy!

Symptoms: Muscle soreness in my upper abdomen and acid reflux/heartburn. Other than that I'm feeling really good!!

Best Moment this week: SNOW!! It snowed early this morning and has been snowing off and on all day long. I got all dressed and ready for work, but when Scotty got back to the house after picking Rusty up from work he suggested that I just stay home. The roads were worse than he expected and he didn't want to risk us getting stuck or in an accident. So, me and the girls (Molly, Abby, & Emma) are enjoying a lazy snow day at home together.

What I am looking forward to: I would say my Doctor's appointment tomorrow, but I'm planning to call and re-schedule it. It's not worth getting out in this nasty weather! So, I'll say still looking forward to my Baby Shower on Feb 19th!
