30 Weeks



Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  30 Weeks
Size of Baby:  Cabbage (15.7 inch, 2.75 lb)
Name:  Braden Lee Samples (Bub, Bray, Whatever His Daddy comes up with)
Nicknames (Gma & Gpa W):  Dutch (type of cabbage), King Cole (Ole King Cole was a merry ole soul and a merry ole soul was he.  He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his fiddlers three. [Cabbage - Coleslaw - Cole - Ole King Cole]).  LOL
Weight Gain:  34.6 lbs
Exercise this Week:  2 days elliptical (30 min each), 1 day crazy back-breaking cleaning :) (5+ hours)
Milestones:  As Bub continues to practice breathing, mom may notice a bout of the hiccups.  Many mom's have described this feeling as a series of small twitches.  [Not that I know of]
Symptoms: heartburn, tiredness, swelling, headaches
Cravings:  powdered donuts
Aversions:  meat in general
Recap of the Week:  This week, I was informed by thebump.com that it's time to pack the hospital bag just in case!  So, I have made a giant list and have packed some of it but not all yet.  Hoping to have that finished by next week though :)  I bought some "sample-size" toiletries and some [non-perishable] snacks and packed those.  I really need to decide on clothes for Bub to come home in cause I'm just not sure! 
We had fun this week at a dinner with friends on Thursday and a b-day party with our favorite "also-expecting" friends on Saturday!  Gotta say, I'm super (selfishly) happy to have a preg buddy [April!] :)  Too bad our babies will JUST miss out on being in the same school class :(

Discovered the app "Red Stamp" on the IPhone (thanks Jenn!) and haven't been able to stop playing with it!
