Week 30 - Everything I Want to Remember

How far along:  30 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss: Current weight = 118 lbs

Maternity clothes: Of course. And still wearing some loose, flowly non-maternity clothes
Stretch marks: None
Sleep: Meh.  Still waking up at night to pee and now getting killer leg cramps again - almost nightly
Movement:  Decreased a little. I suspect there's less room in there for her to move around. 
Cravings: Sweet stuff
Aversions: Curries/Indian food - but not as bad as previous.  Mr. Scout and I ordered in Indian food one night last week and I was able to eat it.  I didn't enjoy it as much as I usually would though.
Gender: A little feminist
Symptoms: Pelvic pressure, increasing back pain - especially after sitting at my desk all day
What I miss: I want to say sleep but I know that once baby girl arrives I will be begging for the kind of sleep I'm getting now
What I look forward to: Seeing her for the first time and seeing how Cub Scout reacts to her
Moods: Grateful that I get to experience this twice. Trying to be appreciate every feeling knowing it will very likely be the last time I am ever pregnant
Milestones: I'm in my 7th month and final trimester
Medical Concerns: None.  At last ultrasound to measure growth I was informed that this baby is measuring large - 86th percentile and was already 3 lbs!  Never thought I'd be able to make a large baby!  My weight gain is the same this pregnancy as last one so we'll have to wait and see if she comes out bigger than her brother.
Weekly Wisdom: Continue to appreciate being pregnant - enjoy this time - it goes by too fast!
Worst moment this week: One day of really bad back pain that forced me to leave work a bit early and generally feeling very pregnant and less mobile
Best moment this week: Every time Cub Scout says "kiss the belly" then kisses my belly - my heart swells :)
