30 Weeks

I’m 30 weeks and creeping closer and closer to the finish line.

I’m starting to feel a bit more awkward and am noticing my gut starting to get in the way which shouldn’t be a massive surprise for 30 weeks pregnant. I’ve just not really noticed my belly “getting in the way” before now, aside from the fact that I can’t sleep on my stomach and haven’t been able to since about 20 weeks pregnant.

30 wks - Side

I had my mid wife appt on Thursday and am now into the “every 2 week” appointments. I gained a little more (5 lbs in 3 weeks) than I was happy with and I’m totally blaming that on Easter and the extra chocolate that I consumed. My blood pressure is perfect and our sweet boy’s heart rate was sitting at 144 bpm. Everything else looked good and we’re just continuing on. I have my next appt on April 26th which is also when I have my next specialist’s appointment….it will be a busy day.

I did just recently go to my chiropractor as I’ve been having quite a bit of pain in my left hip and it was referring to my right knee….how fun is that? The worst part is the fact that at this point, he can put me back into place, but I’m pretty much guaranteed that it’ll pop right back out. The Relaxin (it doesn’t just affect the one area, it’s an equal opportunity hormone – so much fun, eh?) is at play and there’s not much I can do about that but to just ride the rest of this pregnancy out. BUT…….If that’s my biggest complaint….then I’m really not doing too badly physically, am I?

So, Physically I’m doing pretty good, but Emotionally or Mentally is a whole ‘nuther ball game….and seeing as we’re just about to head out grocery shopping I’m not really going to get into it right now.

I’m okay (don’t worry) I just need to make some decisions (possibly set some boundaries) and well, that’s always so much fun isn’t it?

So, in the mean time….one of my favorite ways to avoid dealing with things is to watch movies (while I’m crafting)…..so, What is your favorite movie and why?

    Favorite movie? only one? Nope, can’t do it. But I will say one of my favorites is The Princess Bride. And if I’m in the mood for an oldie but a comedy I’d watch just about anything with Danny Kaye or Donald O’Connor. There’s always the physical comedy of Dick Van Dyke as well. If I need a good cry The Notebook or My Girl will do it or even True Grit or The Cowboys (both with John Wayne).

    So, what’s yours?

  2. My favorite movie…or one of them at least is Pride and Prejudice,..I can watch it over and over. I love getting lost in that time period and I love the old English and how they spoke with purpose.

    You look absolutely gorgeous!!

  3. In that last pic you don’t even look pregnant!

    Movies? Well, I have to echo Rae’s The Princess Bride. Growing up, we went through a period where we watched that every weekend. I like While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock. Just saw Bridget Jones’ Diary again and loved it. I’m with Lala, too, on the Pride and Prejudice series and other BBC series like that. I better start stocking up on these movies as this is the sort of thing I watch while I breastfeed. 🙂

  4. Fight Club. The Usual Suspects.
    Should I submit these anonymously? I know, weird but I like the twists.
    And anything Disney, especially Robin Hood.

  5. I agree with cara….You really DON’T look prego in that last pic! Lookin’ Fab girl!
    Some top fave movies:
    A very long engagement (teary)
    Nacho libre (laughy)
    Bella (teary & warm & fuzzy)
    Grease (c’mon…who doesn’t love grease!? 😉
