30 weeks

30 week belly

Here I am, 30 weeks along, 3/4 of the way there!  I feel really pretty good lately.  I have very little hip pain left which is fantastic, but it appears my GERD is back.  I will spare you the details, but I need to make sure I don't eat anything after 8 pm.  Lifting, bathing, and just all around tending to Cassidy is getting a bit more difficult, as well as, putting on shoes, getting out of bed, and standing for long periods of time.  It's amazing to me how much I can feel every little part of this baby.  I'm not positive I've identified every lump and bump correctly, but if I have, this little one has very, very long legs.  We've decided to wait until she's born to name her and I'm trying my best to be okay with that.  As a planner, this is not as easy as it sounds!  I'm in my last week of school, so technically I'm on maternity leave starting Saturday!  And the most exciting news?  Our painter is coming a week from today!  I can't wait to set up the room and dig out all those teeny, tiny clothes.  I find myself teetering between wanting things to slow down so I have more one on one time with Cassidy and get a few more weeks of solid sleep under my belt and wanting things to hurry up so I can snuggle this tiny little person.
