30 week bump update

How is it possible that I am 30 weeks already???

I know I have said it before but this pregnancy is flying by! Usually it seems to drag on f o r e v e r !!

Whatever the reason I am thankful. I have been extremely blessed to have had such a great pregnancy so far.

It still doesn't seem quite real. I have now come to feel like I have always been pregnant and it's hard to remember not being pregnant. Even though this sweet little girl is kicking up a storm and constantly on the move it still just blows my mind that there is actually a little person in there! Every time I give birth it is so amazing because I am always in awe when that soft wrinkled little part of me and my husband comes out. It is just such a miracle!

It's getting harder and harder for me to bend down and I am definitely in waddle mode. The heat has really been killing me and I am dreaming of cooler weather. I love Florida but I have been getting a little jealous of everyone else's posts of fall colors, sweaters, hats, apple picking,  soups and pumpkin spice lattes.

Come on Florida, all I am asking is for at least 70 degree weather!! (It's still been in the 90's!!!)

I have noticed that I am getting a lot more dizzy lately and can not stand for very long in one spot or I feel like I am going to pass out. (Probably because of the heat!)

At the end of my pregnancies I always put my back out and get sciatic pain. It's a lower back pain that goes down to my butt and leg. When I stand up I immediately feel a sharp pain coursing through me. Not fun! It happened this week and I was pretty much limping everywhere.Thankfully it wore off but I know it will be back as I try to do things that my growing body just will not allow.

My brain has really been on the fritz also. I have totally been getting dates mixed up. Thank goodness for my calender on my phone to remind me. I was out for a walk this week thinking I had all the time in the world and then got an alert that my glucose screening was in half an hour and I had a prenatal appointment scheduled at the same time! I knew that I had them this week but totally got my days and times mixed up!

I have always passed my glucose screenings and I am praying it will be the same this time!!

I have really been hoping the nesting mode would kick in but I remembered it usually doesn't until I am like 38 weeks pregnant! So even though I don't feel that extra kick of adrenaline to get things done I am trying to force myself so I am not waiting till the last minute.

I have been forcing myself ( the kids) to take a bump picture every week( believe it or not I don't like being in front of the camera) and this week Luke wanted to get in and have a picture with his baby too;P He cracks me up!

Before you know it my due date will be here and all you will see is sweet newborn pics, but for now I am going to treasure this sweet time with this little one safe and snug inside of me!

I have some exciting things that I can't wait to share with you but they will have to wait for another post so stay tuned!
