30 Week Baby Bump Update

Happy Thursday!!!

We have hit the big 3-0!!

I can't not believe it.

I think here really is going to start the countdown!!

We potentially have 9 more weeks (see updates below)

Weight gain: 13 lbs. I was holding steady at 3 lbs lost, but stepped on the scale this morning and lost another .3 lbs. I am trying to drink a glass of whole milk with every meal now to plump me up & instead of egg whites in the morning, I am using whole eggs. Hopefully this will add some weight :)

Baby Stats: Baby is right over 3lbs and the size of a small cabbage. He is able to start dreaming now & gets the hiccups quite frequently. 

Blood Pressure: Started blood pressure medications, which kind of bummed me out. I am officially diagnosed as Gestationally Hypertensive. Blood pressure on last Friday after 2 times of taking the medications was 136/62. So its decreasing. I am a little nervous that it will get too low, so I have to watch for dizziness. 

Food aversions: None

Morning sickness: None

Appetite : Back to normal and wanting to eat everything!!

Cravings: Mostly salty with my love of cereal and cookies. None of which I can really eat!

Clothes: All my pants still fit, but need the belly band. Loving jeggings, leggings and yoga pants!! I can wear most of my non maternity shirts minus a few very fitted ones.  Wearing some maternity pants (3 pairs) and a few maternity shirts. 

Headaches: Nothing too bad this week. 

Sleeping: Sleep is back to normal, less waking up in the middle of the night having to pee!

Stretchmarks: None yet!  

  Bellybutton: Outtie and visible through the shirt!!

   Wedding Rings: On

Backaches: Very occasional.

Heart Burn: A little here and there, but doesn't last long, hiccups are the worst!

Energy and Motivation: Normal

Emotions: Mostly Happy, but I notice I cry MUCH easier. 

  Movements: All the time :) They are less forceful now which I am imagining is due to him running out of room in there. 

Gender: Boy!

Name: Greyson

Missing Anything?: Being able to eat whatever I want, SUPER hot showers & not taking any medications!

Updates: 

• Baby appointments have moved to every other week as opposed to every 4 weeks :)
• We don't have any more appointments with the nutritionist. She states my blood sugars levels are exactly normal, so unless anything changes to just keep doing what I am doing. She hopes that the doctor will decrease the amount of times I have to check my blood sugar when I go back!
• Last time we were at the doctors, he mentioned that I will most likely be induced at 39 weeks due to the diabetes and the hypertension. Possible new due date 5/16. This means 9 more weeks!

Next appointment: 

OB appointment on tomorrow 3/15.

 Questions to address:

- Blood sugar levels

-Induction date
