How far along? 30 Weeks

Maternity clothes: This week I started prepping for Max's arrival and got a nursing nightgown and a stretchy nursing bra that is pretty much the only one I fit now...and my milk won't come in for two more months! Why is it so hard to find nursing tops? I thought finding maternity clothes was difficult. They barely even have nursing gowns and shirts at Motherhood. Is there some secret store I'm missing out on? I also ordered a maternity belt since my back has been bothering me, so we'll see if that actually provides any relief.

Sleep: The usual toss and turn, however my back hurts slightly less thanks to my new Boppy wedge. 

Best moment this week: Nothing beats the little moments at home with Gabe and our increasingly not-so-little man. 

Miss Anything? Running. I was doing really well staying active during the summer, but now that school is back in I am exhausted by the time I get home. Thankfully I walk around all day at work, but I still feel guilty for being so lazy. I'm really looking forward to running a few days a week after Max is born, especially since I found out that there is a Harry Potter Running Club! I doubt I'll be doing the Gate this year, but I'm going to try my best to get in shape for it anyway. My goal is to run at least three races before then.  

Movement: I could seriously stare at my belly all day long. It's amazing to know how strong Max is already. He is particularly active early in the morning, around noon-two, and again late at night, so we may actually get some sleep once he's born! 

Food cravings: Waffles! I also may have had a mini M&M Blast from Sonic after our breastfeeding class. So much for one per pregnancy!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Gender: Mr.

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Dizziness, backache, aching feet, restlessness, leg cramps, leaking colostrum, fatigue, hot flashes, and the best part, ever-growing baby and belly :-) 

Belly Button in or out? Still shrinking...

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Total happiness!

Looking forward to: Becoming a mama in exactly two months!
