30 Weeks

*This is late because we were out of town visiting family this weekend. I just wanted to enjoy their company, so I waited until we were home to blog. :)

I'm 30 weeks (and 3 days)! 9 weeks left!!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 30 Weeks

Size of baby: Lawson is the size of a squash

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 13 pounds

Maternity Clothes: I am rebelling against maternity jeans and bought some larger size regular jeans to wear...I am SO glad I did...WAY more comfortable than that stupid maternity panel! Shirts are a mixture, I LIVE in yoga pants now that I'm home! :)

Gender: It's a BOY! Lawson Ryan Payne

Movement: All the time! He is folded up head down (thank goodness!), with his butt under the right side of my rib cage and his legs and hands on the left side of my belly.

Sleep: I slept horrible about two nights this week and slept great the rest!

What I miss: Being able to bend over, ha! Being tan and being skinny too!
Cravings: Dairy! Yogurt, frozen yogurt, milk, ice cream...

*Symptoms: Back pain/being unable to lay on my back, growing belly, fatigue, contractions, hard to breathe/rib pain when he wiggles his butt!

Best Moment this week: Chris' step mom, Julia, surprised me with a 3d/4d ultrasound this week! We also get to go back in a few weeks so that Chris can see him too and we can see him just a few weeks before he comes out! Julia and I think he looks like Chris, and my mom thinks he looks like me, ha! Maybe he is just a good mixture of the both of us...??

His nose looks big in some of them, but it's just because it is squished up against the amniotic sac. Ha!




He has Dakota's lips...


This is Chris' profile...





And a couple of belly pictures.

This is from 29 weeks and some days, I don't remember how many.



Also from 29 weeks and some days, this is the last one I took.
