How Far Along Are You? 30w4d

What's Up Physically This Week? Same stuff as usual. Nothing much going on and I'm feeling pretty great, just tired.

Getting bigger but still managing to get around ok. I am however convinced that they do not make maternity shirts for women who normally have long torso's. I cannot find a single maternity shirt that is long enough to cover my belly with some extra room below.... so I'm still wearing my pre pregnancy shirts that happened to be pretty long to begin with. I feel like I keep wearing the same stuff over and over again.

Oh & in case i forgot to post about it I passed my initial GD test.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Just getting more and more excited to meet him & nesting like crazy...wishing I had money to buy stuff t complete his room.

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Same books as last week, "The Likeness" By Tana French, LJ, Myspace, Hypnobabies... tho I am not really reading it so much now... it seems a bit far out for me but Im going to try and give ( ... )

Maternity shirts drive me crazy! I have about six tank tops from Old Navy - three are maternity, supposedly, and three are regular old tank tops I bought last summer. The regular ones are the ones that actually cover my belly. What is up with that? I don't even consider myself to have that long of a torso, though I am 5'8", so I guess it's going to be longer than some.

I'm 5'8 too and I know exactly what you mean... the maternity tanks fit worse than the 'normal' tanks. I think its just a big ole gimmick. Makes me mad!

How Far Along Are You? 30w1d. FINALLY!!! Wow, I felt like it would never get here!!!

What's Up Physically This Week? My belly is just feeling very heavy! And I'm getting headaches nearly every day. :( At my meeting with my midwife yesterday, she saw that there was some glucose in my urine. For now I'm attributing it to the fact that I had a huge bowl of frosted shredded wheat half an hour before she came! I'm hoping it won't happen again when I see her next Friday. BP was normal and I've gained 20 pounds! Eep!

This morning I felt more movements that I ever have before. I was laying in bed and just watched these really intense movements constantly for literally 10 minutes. My stomach was rising so high! It was so great, and it made me feel even closer to my little baby bee. :)

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Beyond thrilled to be 30 weeks. I can't wait to meet my little girl. Me and my husband are getting even more excited. :)!!!

What's Up Physically This Week? I'm having a lot of pressure in my groin, and my back pain is acting up again. TMI? My labia is like swollen also, and it's quite painful, especially after sex.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? I constantly am worried this baby will not make it. I worry about it all the time, and I worry all the time the baby will make it, but I will loose my birth plan to a csection. I really heal badly, so a 6 week re-coup for me, is like 6 months. I worry I'll not get the birth I want.

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Nothing new.

Random Things Of Note? I am away for a couple days trying to get a break from cleaning 24/7 and nagging at my husband about my brother and him being a slob. I'm staying with family about 2 hours away in Toronto. I never realized how much my husband helped me out. I couldn't get my pants on yesterday so I wore a dress...with sneakers! It looked awful.

I have the swollen labia thing too. Mine's asymmetrical, though - it's reallly swollen on one side, and barely if any on the other.

How Far Along Are You? 32 weeks tomorrow... 8 weeks left!

What's Up Physically This Week? I actually realized the other night that I am "missing" a lot of common complaints of pregnancy - no swelling, no back pain, no hemorrhoids, all of that. I do have this blasted pelvic pain/SPD, but there's nothing I can really do about it. My appetite has still never really rebounded to where I'd like it to be.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Some PANIC at how little time I have left. I have never gone really early before, but I still want to have everything ready by 38 weeks at the latest, and I'd rather have it ready by 37 weeks... which of course means just five weeks from now. ACK!

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? I am re-reading The Baby Book, which is really amusing if you know me, because I generally don't like the Sears'. I decided I should give the revised version a chance, though, and see if some of the attitude I disliked has been corrected. I'm also re-reading Sit Up and Take Notice!

I agree with the 80 degrees thing.. WTF. It is supposed to be in the low 60s (at least in my area) later in the week though! :)

How Far Along Are You? 32 weeks 1 day YAY!

What's Up Physically This Week? I *just* started getting my hip pains back when sleeping after weeks of not having them. Grr. I can feel my hip joints 'loosening up' and they crack a lot more now. Still tons of BH contrax, tons of moving, wiggling and squirming, and generally I feel pretty good.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Hmm. The usual quick-to-cry kind of stuff. :P Lot's more misunderstandings between me and the husband, but we always work it out. Mentally, I'm ready to have this baby! Lots more super strange/crappy dreams too.

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Still just lj and trolling ebay looking for diaper bags I want. :P

Random Things Of Note? I officially went into cleaning overload over the past week/weekend. I usually get obsessed with cleaning smells late in pregnancy, but i'ts usually just Palmolive original scent that gets me, now I love almost EVERYTHING and am practically getting high off Mop & Glo, Scrubbing Bubbles and Mr. Clean.

When I posted about my cleaning smells obsession on my lj, 2 or 3 people mentioned loving Pine Sol, I'm totally going to have to smell it next time I go to the store, I can't believe I've never used it!! :D
