So here goes:
Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 30 weeks
Size of baby: Baby #2 is about 15.7 in long (about the size of a normal cabbage) and weighs about 2.75lbs.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Well at my last appt I was up another 7 lbs (YIKES!) which put me overall at 24 lbs. I kinda wanted to stay around the 25 lbs mark total, but it looks like that isn't going to happen. However in the last couple weeks I've only gained 1 lb per my scale so I think if I can keep this up I'll stick close to the 35ish mark, which I'm completely okay with! I'm NOT okay with gaining 50 like I did with B
Clothes: Maternity, maternity... I did try on some pre preggo pants the other day and my butt still fit into them, so yay for small miracles ;-)
Gender: All boy... who still (STILL) remains nameless
Movement: Lots of movement and I'm starting to think that he may be transverse breech based on where I feel a TON of movement ... either side of my belly, but little near the top or bottom. I guess we will see at my next appt on the 16th. I'm probably just paranoid!
Sleep: It takes either half a unisom or 2 benadryl... still
What I miss: Being able to exercisemore than a few minutes at a time. These days I've fallen to only doing about 5-10 minutes at a time (a couple times a day) and I wish I could just stick it out for at least a half hour!
Cravings: Sweet stuff.
Symptoms: Heartburn seems to be rearing its ugly head again, just like with B.
Moment this week: Panic when I realized we don't have a whole lot of time before Little Man makes his appearance. Oh, but I did score some major garage sale deals on clothes. He will at least have a few outfits to wear the first weeks of his life ;-)
What I'm looking forward to: Still September! And my next appt- after that we start going every 2 weeks if you can believe it! Scary :)
Milestones: Passed the GD test (or so I assume since they didn't call) and apparently don't have any iron issues this time around either. I declare both small victories :D
More pics tomorrow!

I am really starting to feel the time crunch, too. I'm 26 weeks, so technically I still have a bunch of time, but I know that will go by fast. And because I was bedridden from 30 weeks onward last time I feel like I really need to get things together now - not later.
Congratulations on passing the GD test! Not having iron issues is a big deal too. Sounds like your weight gain is slowing down so I bet you stick to that 35 number, nice work =) Hopefully a name is chosen soon, I can tell you're a little anxious on that front.
