30 weeks!

30 weeks always seems like such a huge milestone to me. My husband pointed out that there are still 2 and a half months to go, but I prefer to think that 30 weeks, 3/4s of the pregnancy are done. Baby is about 3 pounds and wiggling and kicking lots.

Always love the self-portraits, but I promised a couple of friend that I would post a "belly" shot. Wish one of them was here to take the picture, rather than the timer on my computer screen. I am just beginning to look pregnant and not just chubby. Arg. One person actually said they thought I looked a little bloated. Eh hum. I am still feeling great physically (if only a bit emotionally scared) and gaining weight with great enthusiasm. I do not step on the scale any more at home, but my midwives assure me that it is healthy. I live on a strict no sugar, low carb, low fat, and high protein diet. In the meantime, I ordered a few more clothes online since 10 weeks is a long time to live in one pair of remaining fitting capris.

PS I recently colored my hair back to brunette. Does it count as coloring if it is close to what God gave me? I had blond highlights, grown out and looking icky. I can't believe how much pregnancy changes the texture of my hair; from smooth to corse, from very wavy to almost completely flat. Uh, thanks Baby Boy.
