30 Weeks- Third Trimester- AH!

30 WEeks

What is going on this week  ?

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin (side note: darn right, it looks like I have an alien inside of my stomach. I am pretty sure that she is permanently doing summer- salts (sp?), sideways, in my stomach, oh man is that uncomfortable. I pretty much can’t breath when she is doing that). Baby is also settling into sleep cycles. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

Every day, about 200 milligrams of calcium is deposited in your baby’s skeleton, which is now hardening. With this rapid growth, it’s no surprise that your baby’s nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester (could explain why I feel the need to eat all day long, except, I am not in the mood for anything and it is darn frustrating).

 

We are currently working on building up her furniture collection. My Aunt Jonda just bought us a brand new changing table off of Craig’s List that happens to match the crib we bought almost perfectly. I am super excited. Now we are looking for a white wood dresser to complete the bedroom set and possibly, if time and finances allow, a glider and ottoman.

10 weeks people Can not believe it. 

I have always considered myself a child/baby person but I am realizing that I seriously have no idea what to do. I guess I should finish up all of the “How-To” books I started reading. Ha-Ha.  

I plan to post a baby bump picture soon. If it helps you can just imagine an oversized volleyball under a T-shirt and that is pretty much what I look like.

  1. I wouldn’t worry about having a boy because of the way you are carrying. I’ve always been told that women who have narrow hips have bellies that protrude out further than women who have wide hips because there isn’t really a lot of room for the baby in between the hips. That’s probably why people might think you’re having a boy. I think it’s just because you have narrower hips.
