what’s new with baby: well our active baby girl is now over 15 and 1/2 inches long and weighs almost 3 pounds! at the doctor on monday everything was right on track and she had a heartbeat of 140 bpm! olivia is getting really good at expressing her opinions already - she is quick to let me know if i'm hungry or sitting in a way that doesn't suit her.
what’s new with mom: i've continued to be tired and achy, to the point that i want a nap every day! i have so much i want to do so i'm just trying to get a little accomplished each day and not push myself too hard. i've also continued to be extremely hungry, even though i fill up much faster! lastly, i feel like the pregnancy brain has really set in. i'm so thankful for the calendar and notes on my iphone to help me keep track of everything - and i'm not even working! this week i even called my mom to help me think of a word! (the joy of writing thank you notes while pregnant!)
wardrobe: not much change here! i'm hoping to not spend too much more on clothes at this point and just work with what i've got! luckily i've been getting some of briana's maternity clothes now. :) bra purchasing is definitely in my future though!
cravings: i've gotten to the point of getting a little tired of being so hungry! our budget is tight so i'm not going out, and i'm so tired of the same food at the house every day! i still want more milk and bananas lately (which is great since i got a killer charlie horse a couple weeks ago!) but i'm still bored with my food selection. i've been wanting thai and indian food - the things i don't feel as confident cooking!
anything hard? definitely the tiredness and back aches are my biggest complaints here. i hate having the desire to do a ton of things but none of the motivation and energy needed. but alas, that's okay!
best moment(s) of the
week: this week was busy but good! it was great to know that everything is going well at the doctor's on monday. josh and i started a new book on marriage with our small group on tuesday, and dave ramsey's financial peace university class on wednesday. both of these require a descent amount of homework, but i'm loving how close me and josh are these days! we're so excited for olivia to come and i feel like we are really on the same page about so many things. i'm so thankful to have such a great husband and i know he's going to be an amazing dad! during the 30th week we also made some progress on the nursery - getting the furniture back in, hanging the curtain rod and black out curtains, and decorating the book shelf (because i just like to do that!). now that the paint smell is pretty much cleared out i'm excited to get more stuff in there and start organizing and decorating!
