Baby O - 30 Weeks

Stretch marks? Yes, a few on my thigh. 
Sleep: Still pretty lucky here, I haven't had a huge issue with sleep.
Best moment this week: I starting to get back on track with my workout classes at the gym, it is scary how much harder classes are but I know they are helping. Also my prenatal massage was amazing!
Miss Anything? Booze, as most weeks. We went to Boston for Ryan's cousins birthday it's hard to be sober Sally but I know it will be worth it. 

Movement: He moves so much, I love it. I really wish we had another ultrasound to see what he is doing in there.
Food cravings: I still have been loving sweets.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Have you started to show yet: Yes.

Belly Button in or out? Flat, I feel like it will pop any day.
Wedding rings on or off? Off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Working on his room, we picked up lots of hooks with J's on them from Anthropologie that I can't wait to hang up.

Nursery Planning

Let's be honest I thought my the time I was in the third trimester Baby O's nursery would be ready and waiting for him. Reality, his dresser / changing table is in there and his rocker. His rocker is from Ryan's nursery and I love having this as part of Baby O's room.

We do have a plan, we decided on this crib from Babies R Us we love that it will turn into a full size bed.

The bedding  we choose for Baby O is from Pottery Barn Kids it is pretty classic and is actually the bedding we choose before we knew Baby O's gender. 

This isn't the dresser that I thought I wanted for his room. Ryan and I searched high and low for a dresser that we loved and ended up finding this one on Overstock and loving it. 

To add some color to his room we are using the Harper storage pieces in green. I love this shade of green. 

Here is what his room looks like so far:

We have some work to do. We have been very blessed though and most of the things we need for the nursery have been purchased by our friends and family. We are just waiting for things to be delivered and hopefully his room will be done by the middle of March with plenty of time to spare before Baby O's arrival.

Baby O - Week 29

How far along? 29 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 29 lbs.
Maternity clothes? I have been sticking to the same outfits, maternity mixed with some regular clothing. 
Stretch marks? Yes, a few on my thigh. 
Sleep: Some nights are better than others, it's more trouble falling to sleep than trouble sleeping.
Best moment this week: I passed my 3 hour glucose test. I was so upset when I failed my 1 hour test, I was worried about the baby and keeping him healthy so it was great news to pass the 3 hour test.
Miss Anything? Booze, Valentine's day was this week and going out to dinner I really wanted a martini or a glass of wine. 

Movement: He is moving so much and now we can see him moving. It is so crazy to see my stomach move and know Baby O is in there dancing around.
Food cravings: Sweets, my neighbor made us brownies for Valentine's day and I don't think Ryan even ate one.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The three hour glucose test, I felt so sick to my stomach between having to fast and drinking that syrup drink.
Have you started to show yet: Yes.
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In, more flat.
Wedding rings on or off? Off
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy, and stressed. That is something I need to work on. I have been so stressed with work and I need to control that because I know it's not good for the baby.
Looking forward to: Next weekend I am getting a prenatal massage. Ryan got me a gift certificate for 2 prenatal massages at The Skin and Body Spa for Christmas and with my stress this week I am looking forward to relaxing. 

With Love, Amanda

Best moment this week: We had the first shower on Saturday with Ryan's Mom's side of the family, it was great to see everyone. They are so excited about Baby O! I didn't get many pictures but here is a collage Lisa made for me:

Miss Anything? Nothing really this week. 

Movement: He is moving like a mad man, I love it.
