How far along? 30
weeks
Baby size: Winter Squash, 2.91 lb, 15.71 in (crown to heel)
Total weight
gain/loss: As of the last appointment I have gained 18 pounds.Maternity clothes? Yes!
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Sleep has been okay. Still have to move often in the night to get comfortable.
Best moment this week: I had a wonderful Mother's Day and enjoyed some great quality time with our little family and our extended families. We took Emersyn swimming for the first time this past week and she LOVED it! I had to pull her out of the pool after two hours. We also took Emersyn to a sibling class at our local hospital where she was able to practicing changing a baby's diaper, learned how to swaddle, and got to tour the hospital where baby and mommy will be staying when she comes to visit.
Miss Anything? Bending with ease and being able to cuddle with Emersyn on my belly.
Movement: He moves the most when I am sitting or laying down. I can also tell which side his little bottom is on often because one side of my belly will stick out more than the other side.
Food cravings: Sandwiches with tomatoes, cereal, chocolate/banana/PB2 powder smoothies, fresh corn, pastas, slaw. Desserts are not my favorite. I am hard to please at restaurants because fried foods are not my friend. My "dream" meals are fresh, healthy foods that you would buy in the produce section or get straight from the garden.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I don't like food items that contain any type of peppers or onions. Breakfast meats are not my favorite.
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Gender: It's a Boy!!
Symptoms: My calves still tingle at night and feel very heavy, shortness of breath, throat burn here and there, hard to sit up (feel much better standing or laying down)

Looking forward to: Brayden's baby shower this Saturday!!
Mother's Day

For Mother's Day weekend, Daniel and Emersyn took me shopping and out to dinner in Greenville. After dinner, we enjoyed ice cream at Marble Slab. I think Emersyn was just as happy it was Mother's Day as I was :)
My Mother's Day breakfast Daniel and Emersyn cooked for me!! And Emersyn brought the flowers to me in bed :)

We are thankful for sweet neighbor friends that can meet us at the pool!!
