30 weeks!

How far along? 30 weeks today! For some reason that feels like a bigger milestone to me than reaching 3rd trimester. 10 more weeks to go. Wow, that's going to *hopefully* fly by!
I'm feeling: Decent. It's been so awesome how much he's moving. I regularly look down to my stomach bulging in weird places and getting real punches down low and kicks up high. I *think* I may have had some braxton hicks contractions. My midwife asked a few weeks ago if I had had any yet, and I was clueless. But a few times when I've been walking, my stomach gets tight or has some mild cramping in one spot. Maybe those are what they're talking about?
My highlights from the week: I got my first gift off my registry! Thank you to Joanna for such a sweet package of useful goodies!! I also ordered an outfit from Gap that may end my search for his coming home outfit. It matches his carseat. Is that super anal of me?
My baby: is about 15 1/2 inches long now, and weighs almost 3 pounds. Sure doesn't seem like enough due the actual amount of weight gain so far. :) But oh well.
What no one tells you: TMI warning!! All I can say is that Tuck's pads and other hemorrhoid wipes are a girl's best friend. I thought all that fun stuff was supposed to happen after I pushed him out, but ohh no. The fun begins before he's even here!
What I miss: looking forward to a big glass of red wine, sushi, and sleeping flat on my back!
Current projects: The bedding is almost done! Here's a not-so-great picture of the fabrics we're going with! I can't wait to see my mom's finished project! The striped fabric is the main fabric (for the crib skirt, curtains, and a few other things). Somehow, the green accent that I thought would be added is just not happening. So brown, orange, and aqua it is!

I've also seen these adorable clothes dividers on Etsy, but with our non-existent budget right now, I opted for the $0.50 piece of foam cut into circles with some craft paint. It's helped organize all the clothes that mom has already supplied for the closet. :)

I also finally picked out and ordered my glider and ottoman. I've been hemming and hawing over this decision as it's a big chunk of money. But with mom and dad's (THANK YOU) help, I'm getting my dream chair. Ok, my real dream chair is like 2 grand, so it's not that one. And of course, I can't find a good picture, but it's going to be super comfy and brown so I can use it in future babies rooms and maybe in another room post-babies. It should be here in 6-8 weeks. Glad I finally got moving on that one!
Currently reading: Still getting done with some sleep books, but I hope this week I'll start Dr. Sears' The Vaccine Book.
Names: For those of you who read this in Google Reader, hop on over to my "real" blog page and scroll down on the right to vote on names! I officially have removed Benjamin from the list as much as I still love it (I just can't remove it from the poll since voting has begun). So tell me what you like.

And a quicky picture from today. My two babies (Sophie and my weird shaped belly) relaxing in the amazing sunshine.
