Week 30

How far along: 30 weeks

Baby bump: is the size of a cabbage weighing around 2.75lb

What's happening this week:

Sleep: sleep has been good this week, I have managed to get comfy easily :-) 

Best moment: was Father's Day, we took daddy to The Village Hotel for a big Sunday dinner, it was very good and so nice to all spend time together. Next Father's Day there will be three! 

Purchases: I got a few things for my hospital bag (I am posting a separate blog for this) 

Movement: lots of movement still. More prominent moves going across my tummy like a ball rolling underneath my skin. Still lots of kicking too, he likes my right hip I can feel him touching it and my right side of my ribs. Sometimes when he's having a move around I can hear little clicking noises (like fingers/toes clicking when you bend them) 

I have even felt what felt like hiccups, tiny little jumpy movements that were in the same place constantly for a few minutes. 

His movements are making more of a routine too, I get the odd kick through the day at work usually when I have a drink. As soon as I get home and have a sit on the sofa he likes to have big moves and turns. The. When I go to bed and lay on my side he bounces on the bed. 

Food cravings / aversions: I have found a new Oasis drink in pineapple flavour and can't get enough! It's been warm this week so I'm liking lollies and Ben & Jerrys.

Symptoms: heartburn, usually as I lay down for bed.

Towards the end of this week it's got really hot and I'm struggling to sleep on a night but I could fall asleep stood up through the day.

Emotions: Feeling happier, sleep really has played a part as has reaching 30 weeks, the 10 week countdown feels like we are almost there. 

What I miss: I'm not a big drinker, I like the very occasional glass of wine with lemonade but I am missing it now. Would like to have a beer too, loving the smell of it but definitely sticking to my fizzy pop shandy.

What I'm looking forward to: finishing work and putting my feet up.
