This may be a long one\u2026 but with a surprise at the end!<\/p>\n

30 Weeks!<\/strong> There is something very exciting about being in the 30\u2019s.\u00a0 Perhaps because I expect Baby D to make an appearance during the 30\u2019s (c\u2019mon 39 weeks<\/em>!!), but I\u2019m ok if the little one wants to hold off until 40 weeks, too, I suppose \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"30<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, let\u2019s get through the basics, because I have some fun stuff to share!<\/p>\n

How I\u2019m Feeling:<\/span><\/strong> Breathing is more difficult because my lungs are squished.\u00a0 Energy is harder to come by than it was in the 2nd trimester, but I\u2019m hanging in there. I haven\u2019t had any leg cramps recently and sleep is pretty good, despite the fact that it takes me 2 couch pillows, 1 bed pillow and my snoogle to set myself up for a good night\u2019s sleep! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m Eating:<\/span><\/strong> You\u2019ve seen most of it!\u00a0 More of the same, and really making sure I\u2019m getting in enough protein, as Baby D\u2019s brain is in a growth spurt.\u00a0 My little one can now perceive information from all 5 senses!\u00a0 No strong cravings or aversions to report (how dull, right?).<\/p>\n

Last night\u2019s dinner: Panko-encrusted halibut, sweet potato, okra & tomatoes<\/p>\n

How I\u2019m Workin\u2019 It:<\/span><\/strong> I\u2019m staying consistent with the frequency,\u00a0 but some cardio sessions are now 35 minutes instead of 45-60<\/a>.\u00a0 Once the belly starts aching, I listen!\u00a0 I opted to go for a swim yesterday = brilliant!\u00a0 I felt weightless for the first time in months!\u00a0 Oh, and I still love yoga! Say hello to the pregnant ninja!<\/p>\n

The Fun Stuff!: <\/span><\/strong>We had a co-ed baby shower thrown in Baby D\u2019s honor this past weekend by our wonderful group of Charlotte friends!\u00a0 We had a blast! There were pink and blue drinks to choose from:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9589\"<\/a> A delicious dinner:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9597\"<\/a> A super cute baby<\/a> (the best time to get baby fever? When you have one on the way! I love this little one!)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9593\"<\/a> Intense game playing, which was a blast! There was a baby dressing relay, trivia and best of all, a baby-food trying contest. GIRLS WON!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0029\"<\/a> And of course, presents! Spoiled again, Baby D, you were spoiled yet again\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9578\"<\/a> \"DSC_0065\"<\/a> Thanks to our lovely hosts and hostesses! Here I am with a few of them: wonderful girls!!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9591\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And lastly, I know, I\u2019m a little long winded today, but I must share some amazing pictures!! Hubbs and I had the opportunity to get a sneak peak at Baby D!!\u00a0 We had an incredible experience at Lake Norman Imaging<\/a> and spent 45 minutes staring at our miracle, watching him\/her yawn, roll over, and play with his\/her hands.\u00a0 It was the most amazing thing I\u2019ve ever seen and I can NOT wait to hold Baby D in my arms\u2026<\/p>\n

please say hello to my sweet baby!<\/p>\n

Mid-yawn (yawns were our favorite!)<\/p>\n

\"3d<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out those chubby cheeks and full lips!<\/p>\n

\"3d<\/a><\/p>\n

Not liking the sound of jiggling pennies that Roxanne was using to try and make him\/her move:<\/p>\n

\"3d<\/a><\/p>\n

And last, but not least, someone has a silly personality, just like mom & dad, and decided to stick her\/his little tongue out at us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"3d<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh I\u2019m just giddy over these pictures!! Thank you for indulging my instinctual mommy-bragging and have a fabulous Thursday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
