Baby updates and Springfield happenings

The baby has hiccups right now.... reminding me I NEED to post an update to record these memories. It is so crazy to feel the hiccups. I cannot get over the fact that there is a 3 lb. human living inside me! SOOO amazing.

A quick update
How Far Along: 30 weeks

Total Weight Gain: Around 25 lbs...

Maternity Clothes: Basically all maternity (and sweats and Kevin's shirts). So much more comfortable. Did wear a non-maternity shirt for our anniversary. Probably stretched out for future wear, but oh well!

Movement: A lot!! Tons of hiccups, rolls, kicks. So reassuring to feel the constant movement.

Cravings: STILL ice cream and fruit. Can't get enough sweets, seriously.

Symptoms: Hearburn... tiredness.... but overall, not too bad!

Best Moment this week: Celebrated anniversary with Kev! 2 years of marriage and 2 months until baby. So exciting.


Here are pics from weeks 26 and 30.







And on non-baby related note, we are starting to get more settled and more acquainted with Springfield. Have found some good places to eat, been to the Springfield Cardinals game, walked around and ate good food at Artfest and I also got to attend Ozzie Smith Missouri Sports Hall of Fame Induction. Not sure it will ever feel like home here, but at least starting to know my way around and enjoy some of the community events!

Galloway Station - our fave place to eat in Springfield so far


Clearly, what I have been enjoying includes a lot of food. And I wonder where the 25 lbs has come from... ha! But anyway, we are excited to continue to enjoy Springfield and show fam around this summer! And after all, our baby will be born here, so we will always have a special connection to Springfield, regardless of where we end up!
