30 weeks!!

okay, first a confession: as we are currently experiencing tornado warnings in atlanta, this photo is obviously not from today. but you know, 29.5 weeks is basically 30 weeks, right? (except that my coworker said today that i already seemed bigger than yesterday, which might have something to do with a nightly cookies and milk habit this week). and also, although you can't tell from this photo, i am SUPER excited to be 30 weeks. let's get this little babe grown and out of here! ;)

 at 30 weeks i'm starting to have lots of back pain. and milk cravings (what??). also starting to think i might need to prepare for this little one as i'm getting lots of questions about a currently non-existent nursery. and maybe i'll have to buy something more than a changing pad cover (like a changing pad), which is currently the only thing we have. 30 weeks means lots of baby kicks and head butts...and less sleep. it means a lot less nausea but also a lot less space for food in my tummy. which is fun when i need to eat all the time (especially in order to get all that extra protein in!). most importantly, 30 weeks means we're 10 weeks (or so...i'm keeping that 41 1/7 weeks benchmark in mind!) away from meeting this baby.

10 more weeks! let's do this!
