30 Weeks- Happy Thanksgiving

How far along? 30 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 17-ish + Thanksgiving meal
Maternity clothes? Yes.
Stretch marks? I think we are still good
Sleep: Decent at night, waking up at least twice with full bladder
Best moment this week: Seeing a lot of family since the wedding, and actually getting to spend some time with them.

Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything?  Still beer and/or alcohol 
Movement: Yes! All over the place. 
Food cravings: Nothing major. Wanted sushi the other day, but it passed
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Have you started to show yet: Yes! I feel gi-normous! 
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In, but I can feel it getting "flatter"
Wedding rings on or off? On, but they are much much harder to get off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody and cranky swings, but getting a little happier, because there is light at then end of the tunnel.
Looking forward to: My (OUR) baby shower! And getting ready for our FIRST Christmas in the new house, and out LAST Christmas as a family of 2 (well 6...with the critters)

28 Weeks

How far along? 28 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 17-ish
Maternity clothes? I have finally broke out and wear the maternity jeans on a daily basis (however the shorts in this pic are not maternity) Tanks still under my work polos, and almost any other shirt I wear, maternity or not.
Stretch marks? I don't think so. Still using Palmer's coco butter. I do however feel the skin on my stomach "stretching" more if that makes sense.
Sleep: SOOOO tired in the afternoons.
Best moment this week: Finally got carpet in the bedrooms so my nesting instinct can finally kick in and get the nursery put together. Also: This was a few weeks ago, I had to go for a fetal echocardiogram (all diabetic patients go) and the Dr there said little L's heart is text book perfect! She even said I wouldn't need to go back for the follow up in the end weeks. Another good moment: my delivery Dr and I seem to be on the same page, they basically won't let me go past 40 weeks! If everything is normal and good and I want to be/ask to be I could be induced at 39 weeks! YAY!

Have you told family and friends: Yes
Miss Anything?  Still beer and/or alcohol 
Movement: Yes! All over the place. Especially while I'm sitting at work. Josh has felt s/he move on a few occasions, but the little shit seems to know when he's there waiting and of course stops. 
Food cravings: Nothing major, other than a nice cold beer!!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Have you started to show yet: Yes! I feel gi-normous! In the beginning I couldn't wait for a bigger "bump", now, I so don't want one!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In, but I can feel it getting "flatter"
Wedding rings on or off? On, but they are much much harder to get off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody, but getting a little happier, because there is light at then end of the tunnel.
Looking forward to: Getting the nursery set up finally! I have it all planned in my head, just need to put it all together. 

Also: A friend tagged me in this post on Facebook. It was the most truthful thing I have read to date! My favorite part was #2 "there may not be a sudden gush of 'love'". I feel this may be the same thing as finding and picking my wedding dress. I did not have the overflow of emotions and tears when I found my dress. I did not cry and jump around happily and giggle when I found out I was pregnant. Like I've  said before, not that I didn't want this, and I will love the end result. It was so nice and reassuring that if  I don't have an overwhelming love and crying session when baby L gets here, I won't feel like a monster. I won't feel like I've failed. It would be a normal response, maybe not the majority, but still normal.
