How far along?
30 weeks and 1 day
How big is baby?
Baby Lithgow now weighs around 3lbs and should be around 16 inches long, although we were told he's measuring small at our last midwives appointment so we have another ultrasound coming up to check.
How is my body changing?
As you can see above, my belly is stretching!
My boobs are growing, as expected.
I'm starting to knock things with my stomach now, I haven't realised how much he's grown.
I am struggling to eat set meals now, little and often is the way forward!
I have no option except wearing maternity clothing now, unless I want a stretched t-shirt post pregnancy.
Purchases:
This week, I purchased some bits for our hospital bag (although I am hoping we don't need it). The bits I have purchased will be needed anyway (breast pads, maternity pads etc.) so they won't go to waste.
I also bought a "coming home" outfit for our little man, which will be his first official outfit if he doesn't go in to hospital!

Movement:
Oh gosh yeah! I feel the little guy move ALL the time, especially when I'm still or laid in bed. He tends to not kick anymore but move round and stretch right under my ribs! Although it can be painful, it's an amazing feeling.
Sleep:
Is no an appropriate answer?
Too much pain/cramp/movement basically...

Cravings/Aversions:
I crave sweet things, but I think that is just a normal part of being a girl! I don't really have food aversions as such, but I did make myself Tuna & Pasta and nearly threw up when I opened the can of Tuna.

Labour Signs:
Nothing yet, back pain but I think that's a general sign of late pregnancy anyway.

Highlight of this week:
The biggest highlight of this week was being told that I would be getting another ultrasound scan, because of the midwife not being sure where my placenta was (see lowlight of the week!)
Another lovely highlight of the week was catching a video of baby moving and him REALLY moving. I know that other people can see it as well, rather than me thinking that I imagine it.
(the video is on my instagram if you're interested!)

Lowlight of this week:
The most rubbish part of this week was probably being told that the little guy was measuring small although this did lead to the highlight of the week.
An inevitable part came this week, the third trimester struggles, such as back pain, wind, barely being able to eat more than a handful of food etc. Although I can't complain, it just means that little man is growing!
