30 Week Bumpdate

10 more weeks until eviction day!

Every day I think to myself, I can’t believe I’m doing this. I’m carrying a child and in just a few short weeks I’m gonna meet my baby! Trust me, I’m so scared but I am SO excited at the same time.

I love feeling his/her kicks and stretches because he/she reminds me I’m never alone. Whether it’s shopping, watching tv, laying still, or sitting down. The little movements remind me that I’m never alone.  I think that’s one of the parts I will miss the most once this little guy/little lady is here.

It’s now starting to become real that my life is going to be turned upside down.

But God wouldn’t give me something I couldn’t handle.

His trust in me is amazing.

Someone once told me that our children don’t belong to us, instead they belong to God. He chooses the parents and trusts us to raise them in the likeness of God.

Holding this sacredness of life within my body and having been given the privilege of caring for this soul, I can’t think of a better honor.

The bump is getting wider and rounder, which means its getting harder for mama to walk around and stand for long periods of time.

Mama is also getting very picky about what food she’s eating. Which was NEVER the case pre-pregnancy.

I’m still noticing some Braxton Hicks, here and there.

Hiccups continue and still worries mama.

I read that baby can now recognize mom’s voice. I think Mexipino also recognizes dad’s voice as well, because he/she always responds to Steve when he talks to him/her.

I really wanted this co-sleeper but it is SO expensive and I doubted that anyone in our family/friends would purchase one for us…so I found one on Facebook marketplace for more than 50% off retail price and snagged it.

I think I felt baby’s hand poking out. There was this small bulge next to my belly button, so i poked it and it felt like a little hand. He/She immediately retracted. Definitely my child, because I take my hand back when my mom tries to hold my hand.

I passed my glucose tolerance test! Celebrated with a bag of sour gummy worms!

The search for a pediatrician continues. Actually we picked one, but I want to go to all these “Meet the Pediatrician” events for all the swag bags. Because I love free. 

I have also stopped wearing my engagement and wedding rings because I’ve been struggling to put them on and off.

Our first baby shower is tomorrow and we’re so excited for Mexipino to be showered! Let’s be honest, mama is excited. Dad is probably more excited for the Conor McGregor vs. Khabib fight.
