Aside from looking oddly ghostly, and oddly ginga (don't mind the photo), 30 weeks pregnant has been pretty good for me.
![Pregnancy update - 30 weeks Pregnancy update - 30 weeks](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqw4urhcaLb0s49Ke96PFGH4JQrHzQAC_XDnPc4W3WeCybp2ASyMucajJWbe_C8xQSmwwqcQsITyGjiv23-GfK6DIlfsSrvb0PLQpr8u1LJ0jGxENfFvZe0DMnTSkIsxVeV2SzOcKwqhk3/s1600/pregnant+30+weeks.jpg)
I've been able to work on the baby's room and a few other things over the past week. Yay!
I am still throwing up but it is totally controllable with medication now, unlike the first 20+ weeks.
Physically, I am being pummeled in the bladder by this kid's fists, which is only slightly less comfortable than when I had a little foot wedged into my liver for the last month. :) Pretty sure it did some permanent damage...
I can pee 4 times in an hour.
I bet you can't!
I feel faint just from standing up for more than a few minutes sometimes. Or breathless from walking to the next room. And at night the cramps in my legs are killer and don't go away and I am constantly overheated.... so basically, I feel a zillion times better than in the first 2 trimesters of spew, when I would ask my husband "what does it feel like to not be nauseous?" because I actually couldn't remember. *shudder*
Being that ill taught me a lot - about what I can handle, about surviving one hour at a time, about who my true friends are (so cliched, but true. You wouldn't even believe...), and how big the God I serve is.
Mostly, tho, I have learned to appreciate. Each day that I'm not bed-ridden is an amazing day. And a day where I can cook and clean and maybe do some interior design too? Out of this world. Attending some social events and even hosting them? I can't believe it. And being able to laugh with my husband and enjoy our last months 'alone' together in some state other than as a near-dead zombie woman? Freaking incredible!
(P.S if you're waiting for the baby's room update, it's coming next)
(P.P.S I nearly forgot to say - one morning I woke up with an outtie. Literally it was not there the night before, and then it was there…. an outtie. So long smiley-face belly button. Your expressions may never be the same again :s )
