30 Weeks!

I can't believe we have hit the 30 week mark! This last 10 weeks have flown by! Emily Kate is kicking like crazy and causing this mama some major pain below the belly! Totally relying on the Lord for strength most days because having a two year old that wants mommy to pick her up throughout the day is wearing on me! I am thankful that the Lord continues to sustain me! I also have started having shortness of breath due to her being up high I suppose... All worth it.

I had a doctors appointment last week. Everything went well... I only gained a couple pounds so I'm hoping that means I'm slowing down. I think that happened with Ellison as well. I gain more in the beginning then begin to plateau. Whew! I found out sweet little Emily is transverse, meaning she is horizontal in my belly... I kind of had an idea that was the case. My doctor said that's probably making me uncomfortable, so I'm praying she moves head down sooner than later! My blood pressure still looks perfect, so continuing to be thankful for that and praying it doesn't rise towards the end like it did with Ellison. I did have a little glucose in my urine, but they didn't seem too concerned. She said it could be what I ate (strawberries and cereal) for breakfast and the test also said I needed to drink more water which I didn't do this morning. Thinking that's what caused it. Note to self: drink more water for next appointment and eat more protein for breakfast like I should anyways! 

Also, I have been reflecting on how perfect the Lord's timing is lately. I remember when we were trying to get pregnant, I was so bummed that it took a few months. Little did I know how perfect a June baby would be with having a month after school ends to prepare. I would be so much more overwhelmed right now if I was due before school ended! I am so thankful that the Lord knows WAY better than me!! Thank you, Jesus!

Well, that's about it. Here's the bumpdate on week 30...

How far along? 30 Weeks

Maternity clothes? The majority of clothes I wear are maternity!
Stretch marks? Nope. Hoping to stay that way haha!
Sleep: still not great. Uncomfortable. Heartburn is worse, but I'm loving the new Publix brand tums that aren't as chalky and kind of taste like sweet tarts! Haha! 

Best moment this week: Last Monday, my sweet moms threw me a shower at school. I was overwhelmed with their generosity and I felt so loved. Also, meeting our sweet niece, Lillian Jane, who was born April 8th :) she's such a little cutie and I love her so much already! 

Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Feeling normal... Ha!

Movement: Same... This girl loves to move!! She also loves to move very low most of the time... I don't think Ellison did this, it's kind of uncomfortable! She seriously must be having a dance party in there at times... It's crazy!

Food cravings: Nothing really still. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really!
Have you started to show yet: That's obviously from the pic! :)
Gender prediction: We know, GIRL! 
Labor Signs: No way
Belly Button in or out? Officially out!

Wedding rings on or off? Off but only because since I was pregnant with Ellison, rings make my finger break out in a rash which is super sad!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time! Hormonal for sure... I cry more often lately haha!
Weekly Wisdom: Give thanks in ALL circumstances! 

Looking forward to: showers at the end of this month and beginning of May... Having a month to prepare for Emily after school ends.
