I am 30 weeks along today (and starting week 31). Baby Girl is about 17 inches long and 3.5 pounds.
I can't imagine getting much bigger, and neither can Robert who said, "I don't remember your belly getting much bigger last time." Thanks. hahaha It is very true that the belly gets bigger much earlier the 2nd time around.
I have been getting acid reflux at night, probably because I lay down too soon after eating. I've never experienced this before, and it's really unpleasant. There is very little room for my tummy and digestion. Smaller portions and staying upright for a while after eating should help.
I have not been sleeping very well this entire pregnancy. I wake up every 2-3 hours to go to the bathroom, and sometimes it takes an hour to fall asleep. When I wake up at 5am (which I do every single day for some reason), I can rarely get back to sleep. I just think it's part of the conditioning. I know that when Baby Girl is here, we will be getting VERY little sleep. So I am actually just enjoying the rest, even if it's just laying in bed.
Baby Girl is a rolling, kicking, dancing machine! I don't remember James being this active. And she's already got her sleep and wake patterns. Most notably, she wakes up and parties when Robert and I lay down for bed around 9-9:30pm. Oh great... ;)
She was face-down last time I saw the midwife, which is great. I can also feel her little body parts with my hands now- I can tell where her back and bottom and legs are. So cute!
