30 weeks


Sorry, nothing fancy. Post work out photo....


How far along? 30 Weeks! I feel like this is some sort of milestone even though it really isn't. 6 weeks to full term! Total weight gain: probably over 30 but I will know later this week. I have been trying to fill up on healthy foods this week instead of junk. Maternity clothes? Mom and I went in search of more maxi skirts and shorter jersey cotton skirts. Of course Old Navy came through once again! Stretch marks? No! Sleep: I will be sharing a photo of my bedtime set up for you below. I must have these exact pillows in this exact formation to sleep. I have had some unrestful nights this week due to being really stopped up and unable to breathe. It also makes me burn up when I can't breathe well so it's just not pleasant at all. Best moment this week: I was able to drag my butt to attend Alabaster City Fest this week which I look forward to every year! Dad has a handicap parking tag due to his bad back so we were able to park really close and only walk a short distance. However even at 7pm it was still 90 degrees and there were the SMELLIEST people there!! I mean, I know these people did not prepare with extra deodorant like I did. Heck, some didn't even feel the need to put on clothes that had been washed. Bless. However I was able to last an hour and got my footlong CORNDOG which I have been dying for!! Also got a shaved ice to keep cool. Strawberry and blue raspberry combined. I am also getting back into my couponing which I love. My goal is always to save more than I spend. My best deal this week was 6 bottles of Herbal Essence for 1 dollar!! I am trying to stockpile tons of our basic items now so that when the gals get here we will be good for awhile. My biggest stock are things like shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, pasta, pasta sauce, etc.....my stockpile is pretty amazing. I will post pics below. Miss Anything? For real y'all, MY HUSBAND!!! this is our basic schedule for a week. Renan will work 24 hrs at the fire station, wake up and go directly to UAB to do a medic rotation, come home and take 2 tests, wake up and spend a whole day at school, come home, take 2 tests, REPEAT. Then in between all that I am trying to talk his ear off because I have so much that builds up through the days! Bless him because he is trying to cram everything into June so that his July is less busy In case the gals make their debut early. It's not easy and I get very lonely, but I'm thankful to be married to a man who works his butt off to better himself and does it all for us. Love him.   Food cravings: PEACHES! seriously I have been eating them nonstop. We have a man who sells them out of his truck by our house and I am at his truck literally every 3 days or so. I love summer because of all the fresh fruits and veggies. John and Cheryl have an excellent garden this year so they are loading us up with squash and zucchini too. Oh, and my CORNDOG from City Fest... ;) Symptoms?  So that pinched nerve on my upper belly has gotten AWFUL. It literally hurts all day everyday. It feels like I have a hot poker pushing through my belly in that one spot. I know it's just because they are getting bigger and I have to deal with it, but MAN it hurts! Especially when Miss Saylor balls up and decides to put her little booty right on the nerve. Ouch! Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes, all the hot sweaty dirty people at City Fest. You need soap and deodorant. Labor Signs: Nope! Let's keep it that way!  Wedding rings on or off? I actually wore my wedding band a couple times this week. I am switching between the fake and the real ones depending on how chubby my fingers feel at the time. Happy or Moody most of the time:  I had a major moody moment this week. Mom and I were driving in the car at the promenade and some guy was not respecting the 4 way stop but had the nerve to make a mean gesture at me! Guys, I think the Loch Ness Monster came out of me at that moment. I went NUTS screaming at that guy and letting him know that he had NO IDEA WHO HE WAS MESSING WITH!!! All of this from inside my car of course. Mom just looks at me and says, breathe!!!! Hahaha! .Looking Forward to Anything? Looking forward to giving Renan a little something I got for his first Fathers Day! It should be coming in the mail this week and I can't wait to show everyone! 

The infamous CORNDOG. It was everything I wanted it to be. 

My pillow fortress. 
A buck for all of these. COUPONS!! 

Parts of my stockpile. It's not very organized right now. I have over 40 bottles of laundry detergent and didn't pay over 2 dollars for any. The food pantry is a complete mess but has my staples that we use on a regular basis. This does not include my toiletry stockpile... That's a whole other pantry!
