How far along? 30 Weeks
How big is baby? The size of a cucumber. 15.2-16.7 inches and 2.5-3.8 lbs. I would assume closer to 2.5 because at both of my recent doctor appointments I've been measuring a week behind; nothing to be concerned about.
Total weight gain? 18 lbs so far.
Maternity clothes? Nothing new although I did discover this weekend that I am at the point of needing a bathing suit.
Stretch marks? I haven't seen any real ones yet but when we were at the beach I did notice what might be the beginnings of some. I think they were more pronounced because the water was so cold it make everything stand out more.
Sleep? I've been sleeping A LOT lately. I've gotten into the VERY bad habit of getting up with Tyler, staying up for about an hour, and then going back to bed until about 11 or 12. The crazy thing is I am still able to sleep fairly easily at night too! I have to start getting into the routine again of getting up and doing something since I will be going back to school in 3-4 weeks.
Movement? This morning after breakfast we were laying around and I could see Zoey moving my belly all around. I think she was doing the cha-cha slide in there! It was so funny. The only thing I wish is that I could tell the difference between her feet and arms and hands and head. Don't get me wrong I LOVE feeling and seeing her move I'm just curious as to what exactly she is poking me with in there!
Cravings? Sweets. Chocolate specifically. M&M's and Oreos and everything like that. Although I will say there was a 24 hour period last week where NOTHING sounded good. Like, at all. All I was able to force down was half a hamburger and some fries.
What I miss? I miss not being so worn out all the time. Or more specifically I miss having more than a few hours of energy at a time. I also miss not having this crazy restless leg syndrome stuff. I'm tired of always feeling like I have to be moving my legs. I wish my muscles would just go back to normal.
What am I looking forward to? I am looking forward to getting back in the routine of school. I know that I will be exhausted by the end of the day but I think having the routine will help with some of it. By not being able to go back to sleep I think I won't feel as sleepy.
Oh! And this! Tyler surprised me this weekend by coming home for work Saturday and taking us to Melbourne Beach for the night! We stayed at a hotel right on the beach and went to a restaurant called CHart House where we had an awesome steak dinner. Then this morning we got up and watched the sun rise and had a nice breakfast before heading back home. It was so nice to get away just the two of us (not that our family consists of any more than that just yet!) and to have some quality time together.
Now, as far as the George Zimmerman trail and verdict goes here are my thoughts. I think that it is a horrible, terrible thing that a 17 year old boy died. That is just tragic and there should be some justice for him. However I have two things to say as far as the trail goes. 1) We will NEVER know what really happened that night. Even if Trayvon hadn't died, his view on what happened and George Zimmerman's view could have been totally different. There are always three sides to every story: the two participants and the truth. 2) I did not watch the whole trial by any means. I only watched parts here and there but the parts I did watch I did not feel the state proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. They did not have the evidence to prove the charges they were asking for.
