Baby got to visit Lake Eerie this week!
To say that I'm at 30 weeks feels so surreal. On one hand, when I think about the day I found out, it feels like an entire forever has happened since then. But 30 weeks just sounds so serious! Like, this is happening. It's crunch time!
- This week was so much fun, getting to travel together for residency interviews. Even though he hasn't made his grand entrance yet, it was our first time traveling as a little fam! Getting to see fall colors and have some cooler temperatures was so nice. However....I have no warm maternity clothes. I live in Florida! So I spent a few hours freezing before I just layered everything I had in my suitcase on all at once. I also may or may not have purchased some bedazzled gloves from a CVS, but that's a story for another day.
- My baby shower is this weekend, but we got our first gifts this week! It's odd, but actually owning baby things in person makes everything feel more real to me than anything else that's happened up until this point.
- I'm so uncomfortable. There's just no way around it. He's gotten so big that he's always squishing or pressing down on or kicking something. I feel so heavy and it's hard to breathe. What's hard about this is realizing that it will just continue until he gets here, because he only gets bigger from here. That's obviously good, but it's rough. Somebody pass the Chick-Fil-A.
- On our trip last weekend, somewhere between Cincinnati and Cleveland, we finally settled on a name. Now that he has a name, I feel like I can start to imagine him as a person..so crazy.
30 weeks down, 10(ish) to go. TEN. Baby Jack, we are so excited to meet you.
LOVE the name!!! Baby Jack, so cute! And sounds like we are both on the uncomfortable bus! Eek!
ReplyDeleteI love his name!! So so sweet!!
ReplyDelete30 weeks, no way?!?!? I swear you just announced :)! What a strong name, lady!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to have the name and be able to really imagine him joining you. I love the name you chose!
ReplyDeleteAwe, great name! I was watching E! last night and they were talking about a celebrity who released the name of their baby mid-pregnancy and they were like, "Is that the new thing? I guess she's starting a new trend with announcing the baby's name during pregnancy" lol, why not? Like you said, makes things seem even some surreal now that he has a name :)

ReplyDeleteSo exciting!! Try and enjoy your baby shower... I wish I could have a redo shower now that I'm not pregnant because I was soooo sick. I couldn't enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI'm just an hour south of Lake Erie! If you're here in the summer, be sure to check out Put-In-Bay. It's an awesome little island that's a short ferry ride from Port Clinton, OH. And I love that name!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic name. That sucks that everything is so uncomfortable right now. I hope you find whatever comfort you can until he arrives.
ReplyDeleteI love the name!!
