Week 30 Update and 3D Ultrasound Pictures

I Call Her, Cheeks

Look at those wittle cheekies!!!!

 I am over the moon with excitement in life right now! I just don't think things get any better than this, I mean, I really don't. I am probably the happiest person that I know and I owe it all to God. He has given me the exact life I dreamed of as a little girl. He gave me my Prince Charming who is the most AMAZING father that ever walked the Earth and now I am having his baby and couldn't be more excited. I have an incredible little boy that loves me to pieces and even though I didn't birth him, I'm his "Mama" and he's my baby. There is a special bond between us and everyday I choose him. Nobody makes anyone be a parent, it's a choice and a decision you make everyday and I regret nothing. (The terrible twos are hard though, I'm not going to lie.)

  Anyways, I will go ahead and get on to the update! :)

How far along: 30 weeks and 3 days or 7 and 1/2 months (See: "Excuse Me, What? The Guide to Pregnancy in Weeks and Months" for an accurate description of how far along we are.)

Total weight gain: I am at 138 so I am up 26 pounds. This was the last time I weighed myself about 5 days ago. We have since moved and I haven't unpacked my scale yet.

Maternity clothes:  Still yes and no. I'm wearing an XS top from Forever 21 right now, but I switch back and forth. I wear whatever I feel like whether it be maternity or not.

Stretch marks: Amazingly, no.

Sleep: I am sleeping AMAZING and by amazing I mean, like, 12 hours a night!! I find it funny reading back on my old updates how sporadic my sleeping is. One week it's all gravy, then the next I am Momma Zombie. Hopefully I can maintain this amazing sleep I've got going on lately.

Best moment this week: Oh please! If I listed all my bests, I would be on here for hours! Let's see:

• Moving into our new house
• Annabelle's 4D Ultrasound
• Starting at our new church
• Setting Reagan's new room up
• James starting the renovations on our kitchen
• Getting ALL NEW stainless steel appliances for our kitchen
• Also the BRAND NEW washer and dryer

I could go on and on, but I don't want to gloat, I'm just so super happy and want to share my good news! 

Home Sweet Home

Reagan playing in his new backyard 

James started the renovations and this is what it currently looks like.

Miss Anything: I miss not having gestational diabetes and carpel tunnel. I really miss sweets in general. lol 

Movement: She seems a lot more calm than a couple weeks ago, but like I said, I am sleeping 12 hours and she's a night kicker, so I'm probably just sleeping through it. 

Food cravings: Grapefruit as of yesterday, apples, ALMONDS, peanut butter, and bologna sandwiches. (gross, I know, but it's my craving)

Anything making you queasy or sick: NADA!

Have you started to show yet: Let's just say some random lady exclaimed in shock: 

"You're due in February!? You look like you're have quadruplets!" (So rude)

30 weeks
(Annabelle's new room came with a wall mirror)

Name: Annabelle Emli (pronounced Em-lee) and her nickname is Belle or Cheeks.

Anna- James' sister's name is Anna and my grandma's middle name is Ann.

Belle- My great grandma's name is Claudia Belle.

Em- My cousin's name is Emily.

Li- My other cousin, Emily's younger sister is Lila.

Labor signs: Nope.

Symptoms: Numb/tingling hands and feet, feeling short of breath all the time, backaches, extreme fatigue, and not anymore, but super emotional.

Belly Button in or out: Still in, although I predict in the next month it will come out.

Wedding rings on or off: I still have my one band on! 

Happy or moody most of the time: The last couple weeks I was super emotional. I think between packing and the stress of the move had an impact on me, but this past week I am the happiest I've ever been. :)

Looking forward to: I am looking forward to getting our new appliances delivered, setting up Annabelle's nursery, the completion of the kitchen (so I can be allowed back in), and well, EVERYTHING! I am just so happy to the point of tears! I thank God every morning for everything he's blessed me with. 

Here are some pictures of our ADORABLE, cheeky baby girl! I mean have you ever wanted to squish a baby's cheeks more? I know I haven't! :)

 Beautiful, full lips!

Gorgeous baby!

Our peaceful angel!

Mommy's double chin...(sorry baby girl)

I know I'm biased, but I think she is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. And she's so SQUISHY!!!
I just want to love her and kiss those fat little cheeks!
I know I'm going to cry when I see her for the first time because it's hard to keep the tears in just looking at these pictures...
