These past two weeks have been such a contrast from each other! In week 29 I was in Japan, still walking around everywhere and staying quite busy. Whereas week 30 was back home trying to calm down from the previous week and recover from jet-lag. Now that I am in a semi normal routine I have noticed some new pregnancy symptoms that maybe I was able to overlook in Japan because of busy-ness. Some things that I have experienced this week include a little back pain, heartburn, dizziness, and just all around exhaustion. Also, I’ve been super hungry and find myself eating 6 meals a day. Maybe I need to catch up on all the calories I lost while in Japan because I didn’t gain any weight while we were there. By the end of week 30 I weighed in at almost a pound from being home for a week. I hear that this third trimester is when the weight comes all at once, so we’ll see!

I’m glad to be in the third trimester because I can’t wait to meet this little guy but then again I am also thinking that I may actually miss being pregnant! It’s been a great adventure so far. It’s really interesting how you can get used to something and in this case, pregnancy has been something that has been really easy to transition back into. The hard part hasn’t even started yet so that has been something I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around. Parenthood brings it’s own set of struggles! But let’s think about that later…For now here are some bump shots for 30 weeks!
