Week 30 update

Welcome to week 30. We are now at 3 pounds and about the size of a head of cabbage.

Things are going well. The heartburn I complained about last week went away a few days ago and thankfully was not replaced with any new ailments.

I was pretty tired this weekend as we hosted both our garage sale and a bachelor/bachelorette party in the same day which meant we were up from 5:30AM – 1:30AM all in one day. We also had a busy Sunday so I was sluggish last night but I’m happy to report that I’m feeling much better today.

One thing I’ve noticed is that I am not able to sleep-in anymore. I thought that I would sleep for a while after Saturday night’s fiesta but I woke up early on Sunday morning after having trouble falling asleep and waking up a few times during the night. In fact, tired or not, I usually wake up a few times during the night either to adjust my position, visit the bathroom, or ponder the mysteries of life. I miss the early days of pregnancy when I was so tired I fell asleep at 9 and didn’t wake up until the morning.

Next week I’ll take what I expect will be my last airplane trip of the pregnancy. By the time I return, the McNug will have clocked 14 plane rides in utero. Too bad we can not collect frequent flyer miles for the extra traveler. I’m pretty sure this will be the most uncomfortable trip yet and the fact that I was only able to get a middle seat on both flights won’t help. My doctor said I should get up every hour to walk around and stretch my legs. I pity the person in the aisle seat next to me. . .
