We've had a very grown-up week in the Reeder house. Over the weekend, we passed the 2-year anniversary of the day we bought our house (and we still have empty, furniture-less rooms...) Plus, said house has been inundated with baby stuff, a sign that we're coming up on being handed the greatest responsibility of our lives.
Then yesterday was a majorly grown-up day. Daddy sold his car, which was quite a sacrifice for him. He is selflessly giving up his fun car for a more family-friendly version (make and model TBD.) Car seats just don't fit well in the back of a 2-door! After unleashing the car, we signed away our unborn child, i.e. we had our wills drawn up. I repeat, wills. If that doesn't scream "grown-the-hell-up", I don't know what does. Baby Reeder now has assigned guardians if something were to happen to us. It's a terrifying thing to think about, especially since he's not even here yet, but very necessary to have. We are now, dare I say it, adults.
How far along?: 30 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss: +2 this week, +12 overall.
How big is baby?: Almost 3 lbs. and 15.5 inches long. He's swimming in a pint & a half of amniotic fluid now!
Maternity clothes?: Already growing out of some - yikes!
Sleep: My least favorite time of day :(
Movement: The munchkin is pressing into my hip bone now, which is pleasant. At least my transverse baby's butt is no longer pushing into my lungs - bonus!
Labor signs: Braxton Hicks on occasion, my sign that I need to slow down.
Food cravings: Village Tavern chicken fingers and fries. Thanks for putting this idea in my head, family.
Gender: It's a boy week.
Belly button in or out?: Weird.
What I miss: Good sleep.
What I am looking forward to: Wedding weekend in Canton, for many reasons. It's the last and shortest of my road trips for this pregnancy. Plus I get to wear my comfy dress = no waistband squeezing my belly + sleevelessness heaven (Can you tell I am overwhelmingly hot right now? We're talking "could this be a Swine Flu fever?" hot.) Perhaps we'll take a "family" photo since the husband will be in a tux ;)
Best moment this week: My baby shower! LOVED it!
Milestones: Remember my "25% down, 75% to go" post? Yeah, reverse that! Hitting the 30's feels pretty major league to me. Single digit weeks-to-go from here on out!
