Hello little cabbage! (30 weeks)

How far along? 30 weeks (as of Friday)
How big is the peanut? We have a "cabbage" patch baby! 
Total weight gain/loss? Healthy.
Maternity clothes? Between borrowing from friends and mom and dad and Danni buying me a few things, I've spent almost nothing. #blessed
Sleep? Definitely waking up at least one or two times a night, but generally getting decent sleep. #thankful
Best moment this week? Getting kicked hard enough to say "ow!?"a couple times. 
Symptoms? My feet though. Killing me. But, amazing hubby rubbed them, twice. He's a good one y'all. 
Food cravings? Sweet tooth is back with a vengeance. 
Food aversions? Fewer than the first 29 weeks, but still greasy = unappetizing. 
Gender? Pretty much everyone in the world knows now but grandpa Wase. Good luck there. 
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? Out. 
What I miss? Comfortable pants. 
What I'm looking forward to? Doctor appointment this week and then we'll finally be doing every other week. A month is too long to wait to hear that heartbeat. 
Milestones? I mean, we only have two months to go. It's getting real. 
Bump?

29 weeks. Butternut squash or large water bottle? Take your pick.

How far along? 29 weeks (as of Friday)
How big is the peanut? Casey's app says butternut squash (awww), mine says extra large bottle of water 😂. 
Total weight gain/loss? Healthy gain. I'm really thankful God has helped me not worry about this too much. Just try to eat healthy and help baby grow. 
Maternity clothes? The struggle is real. Just when things are fitting, I think I'm outgrowing them. #ineedsomeyogapants #realbad
Sleep? Just tossing and turning. 
Best moment this week? Is it lame to say paying off student loan? But it's something we've prayed for and longed for, especially pre baby's arrival, and God provided! 
Symptoms? Sitting in any position is pretty uncomfortable. Makes meetings and that football game I went to with dad... Different experiences 😀
Food cravings? Mmm... Ice cream still. Ice cold water. Fruit. Haven't changed much. 
Food aversions? Fatty, greasy, fried stuff. Same same. 
Gender? It's getting harder to not slip with grandpa Wase. Eek. 11 more weeks 😬
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? Out. Totally weird. 
What I miss? Sleeping on my back. And Bojangles Supremes and fries. 😪
What I'm looking forward to? Seeing our families enjoying little butternut squash. Oh and #babymoon ! (Good excuse for a mountain weekend). 
Milestones? Final monthly appointment next week, and then we're down to every other week. 
Bump? Getting ready to go to baby's first state game!

28 weeks with our eggplant-cucumber

How far along? 28 weeks (as of Friday)
How big is the peanut? Casey's app says eggplant, mine says cucumber. 
Total weight gain/loss? Healthy gain 😁
Maternity clothes? It's not maternity, but I did buy two pretty fall color cardigans and I feel better about life. 
Sleep? The interruptions have begun again. 
Best moment this week? Passing my glucose test. Hallelujah. 
Symptoms? Well, turns out I have iron deficiency anemia, oh boy. So I get to take an iron supplement twice a day. That explains Some fatigue and fast heartbeat :) Praying that the iron doesn't make me sick like it did in the prenatal vitamin first trimester. We'll see!
Food cravings? Pumpkin spice... Ooh wait, that's just normal. Ice cold water still. This week, citrus. I dunno. 
Food aversions? Fatty, greasy, fried stuff. 
Gender? Grandma Pam finally knows! What a relief! Grandpa Marty still wants to be surprised in December, so keep it quiet with him. His lack of Facebook presence should help. 
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? Neither?
What I miss? Sleeping on my back. 
What I'm looking forward to? Shower fun. 
Milestones? Depending on your source, we're now in the 3rd trimester 😮
Bump?

27 weeks: the little cauliflower/eggplant

How far along? 27 weeks (as of Friday)
How big is the peanut? Casey's app said cauliflower, mine said eggplant. Mmm... That sounds good. 
Total weight gain/loss? Healthy gain 😁
Maternity clothes? Target is amazing. They're the only ones who make maternity pants that have elastic built into the sides versus those terrible elastic things that are supposed to cover your whole stomach and suffocate you in the process 😂
Sleep? Body pillow is legit. 
Best moment this week? Wal-Mart baby clothes clearance section. The cuteness! 
Symptoms? I think that whole going back to not feeling great in the third trimester it's real. Haven't felt great last couple days. Third trimester is upon us. 
Food cravings? I'm undecided as yet whether it's providential our terrible that Wendy's is running their $0.50 frosty promo right now. Cold creamy things and fresh tasting things are what I want right. Also ICE COLD water. 
Food aversions? Still not smart to eat fried/greasy food. One day, bojs, one day.  
Gender? Still a secret for Grandma and Grandpa Wase, so shhh...
Labor signs? No, thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? Another week and we might be out. Weird. 
What I miss? Sleeping on my back and not aching 😊
What I'm looking forward to? Seeing that face in person! Getting glucose test over this week. 
Milestones? Think we're settled on a name. But we're not telling. Sorry. 
Bump?
