30 Weeks Pregnant!

WOW. This morning I am just in awe of my life over the past year. I cannot believe I am 30 weeks pregnant! I feel like we have come so far, and are now in the home stretch.

I have had a pretty good pregnancy so far! Not much sickness, if any at all.. I had heart burn while we were away for about 4 or 5 nights but thankful that has gone away upon our return home. Most days I just feel sore; my hips hurt, my pelvis is moving oh so much! Ouch.. and the extra 25lbs make my feet throb by the end of the day, but hey!

There are so many moment I know I will look back on, wanting to watch this little one squirm away inside this beautiful belly. Feeling those kicks and rolls while I drift off to sleep. Reading and praying over him or her while I sit and dream about the months to come. It is such an amazing time, our bodies were made to do such amazing things.

Am I nesting? Well, my husband thinks I've been nesting my while life, but I have been up since 7:00am and had two rooms of the house completely re-arranged by 8:00am. I feel like there is 10 million things left to do, and nothing is ever clean.. So yes, I would say maybe I'm nesting? lol!

Cravings? I did actually have a few at the beginning, nothing strange, more sour or vinegary foods. Its funny in my second trimester I just wanted to eat all the time, everything, just food in general. Now there is not so much room for my stomach to eat a lot of food at once, so I find myself just eating small thing more frequently throughout the day. But yes! Every once in a while a nice donut, sour squish candy, chocolate caramel apple, or bowl of ice cream sounds pretty good ;)

Over the next 10 weeks I want myself to remember that these moments are only here for so long. I don't know that I will get the chance to do this all over again, so I want to soak up every minute. It doesn't matter if the fronts of the cupboards are not clean, or the kitchen table is mess, yet again. This time is precious, and as Francesca Battistelli so greatly put it in her song 'Don't Miss It' .. THIS is life, don't miss it! Embrace it, soak it all in, stop worrying or wishing, because tomorrow is going to come whether you worry about it or not.

Its in these moments where I feel ever so thankful for my life, every bit of it. I so look forward to what the next few years will bring, while soaking up every day while we live it, right now.
