30 Weeks

How's that pic of the real deal right before my prenatal yoga? :)

We've made it to 7.5 months... 10 weeks to go! Yeah baby!! (no pun intended, hehe)

Trenton is about 16 inches and about 3 lbs now... 

His movements are getting bigger and stronger each week as he grows too.

Still feeling pretty good overall... I am getting very tired again  and am back to napping at lunch & after work before Shaun gets home. I am definately still growing and my hips are still an issue. I got another pregnancy massage over the weekend which definately helped. The massage therapist really dug into my hip joints and relieved a lot of the tension and pain. I think I will schedule another one (or two) more of those before lil' Trenton comes..

We chose a pediatrician which is actually the same one I had growing up! Dr. Petty..I remember going to her for SO long.  I actually ended up finding her at the same pediatric group as the Dr. that my best friend uses for her lil guy, Cannon. It worked out great and i'm excited to see her again. Plus, thats another thing to do, OFF the list! yes!

I am still working but will be probably going on leave in about 5-6 weeks. HOPEFULLY we will be moving then becuase I will definately be nesting & wanting to get everything cleaned, set up and organized.

As far as cravings go, nothing too wierd thus far. I do still LOVE me some ice cream and cupcakes, which is funny becuase i'm usually more of a salty person but I have a HUGE sweet tooth right now. I do indulge occasionally but I feel somewhat guilty eating that kind of stuff when my child is trying to develope his brains inside of me right now, no big deal right?.. just his BRAIN. I dunno, call me crazy but if ice-cream grew big brains then I think we would all indulge more often and this will be one smart kid! 

Baby gear update.. we went to a great shop called OC Tykes in San Clemente over the weekend and were able to touch, fold, carry, and try out (with a fake baby) all of the strollers on the market that I have been interested in.. do you remember all of my frustrations? I was finally able to show Shaun that I wasn't crazy and that they are all VERY different. After leaving, the reality of only being able to get one stroller to meet all of our needs was officially crushed... but Shaun LOVED the Bob Jogger (like I knew he would) so that one is still on the must have list and I LOVED the City Mini for everyday use. We ruled out the crazy City Select and others that were 500+ and morphed into vehicles practically that transported your whole family. We figure, we will start with what we need for our first then go from there. As we all know, by the time our next child comes, we will be able to push a button and the PERFECT stroller will pop out of my purse and unfold into a double. Can't wait. We also left there feeling like we needed to patent our idea for a stroller that does it all... Shaun has some great ideas and he realized how expensive strollers are and that there is a huge market. haha, I can see it now.. forget The Bob, get THE ENGLE Ultimate. 

Until next week.. thanks again for reading.  Hump day is over! Have a great end of the week & weekend. 

You are sure a shy audience.. as NO ONE comments around here.. is anyone out there?! :) 

hugs, Tay.
