Yesterday was officially 30 weeks into the pregnancy, and now instead of feeling like I’m 30 weeks in…I feel like there’s only 10 weeks to go. It’s officially now a countdown!
What the baby’s doing at 30 weeks:
- He’s now about 3 lbs, and averaging about 16″ (according toBabyCenter.com).
- The kicks and punches are much stronger than before. Last night, I was actually awoken to what felt like a dance off in my stomach. Hands and feet going in all directions.
How I’m feeling at 30 weeks:
- Tired! I’m having trouble falling asleep at night. I wake up at least 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom and then struggle falling back asleep. And of course, I’m back up between 6-7am with my other little one.
- Ligament pain has begun, but it’s not near as frequent or as painful as the first pregnancy.
- I feel really blessed that my leg cramping STILL hasn’t returned.
- Getting grumpier. I can tell my moods are swinging, and I feel really bad for my husband. Lately I just feel like I can’t do anything (play with my son, clean the house, make dinner) and it’s taking a toll on me. I want to be able to do all the projects and plans I have in my head, but it takes me so much longer to do anything than before; and twice as much energy.
I’m also feeling more at ease. We spoke with our doctor last check up, and we’ve made some important decisions about the delivery of Baby #2. For the first time in 20 months, I feel comfortable and calm about how this pregnancy will end!
