BABY THURSDAY - 30 weeks

Stats:

Weeks pregnant: 30

Time left: 8 weeks 4 days

Weight gained to date: Well... it happened. The big FAT shoe dropped. I went to the OB on monday and.... DRUMROLL... I gained 8... yes EIGHT pounds this month. For a grand total of 10.5 lbs total. OY.

Gender: We received our 3rd and final confirmation at our ultrasound tuesday that she is in fact still a girl. :)

Baby's approx. length: 16" head to heel

Baby's approx. weight: 3 lbs

Veg/fruit size comparison: Squash

Cravings this week: Still mango milkshakes.

Movement: She sticks her bum out one side of me and her head out the other... interesting looking... not some comfy for mama.

Chicken's name suggestion this week: ZORTAN... He's just making stuff up now. Sounds like a warrior princess... or an antidepressant.

The baby girl she grows... BIG.

I had my 29 week OB appointment on Monday. You know how I've only gained 2.5 lbs as of my 25 week appointment... and how I was totally stoked about that. Well... now? Not so much. I stepped on the demon scale and was up:

8,
EIGHT.
Yes, eight lbs. IN ONE MONTH. Are you kidding me!?!?!

Anyhoo... That's a total of 10.5 lbs in almost 30 weeks. Nothing to sniff at. I'm totally fine with that. But I gotta tell you... 2.5 sounds WAY better. On top of that, the belly is measuring 2 weeks ahead, 2 months in a row. So we had an ultrasound last night. The tech was friendly but in a BIG hurry. We barley got to see her, only got one crap ass picture, and no indication of her size. We have to wait for my next OB appointment in 2 weeks to get the results. You read that right. My appointments are now every 2 WEEKS. Holy crap this pregnancy is going quickly.

Side profile of face. The umbilical cord is running across her mouth and along her cheek.

A COWBOY CHICKEN!

One thing we love SO MUCH about grandma running an antique/vintage shop... is all the little treasures we get to experience! Today's photo shoot consists of a vintage cowboy outfit with all the paraphernalia! I don't have to tell you it was a BIG hit with the little chicken.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY 26 - birthday fun... in the sun... and water.

Present time... dragon costume by Fancy Pants Kids, ukulele,  bubbles, books, PJ's and lots of other treats.

It was so HOT (finally) that we made the best of it outside with popsicles, bubbles, and drenched a 4 yr old.

Couldn't love this kid more... he fills my heart right up.

Finished up the day with "Kindergarten Prep" Night at the school. Chicken walking out with his "summer activity" bag, feeling like quite the big man.
