How far along? 30 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I stopped weighing myself :) Yay me!

Maternity clothes? Okay...maternity jeans are the BEST THING EVER!!! Why is it not okay to wear these when you aren't pregnant? Everybody looks great in them...it's like having Spanx built into your jeans.

Stretch marks? Not yet...I thought I had one the other day...but it was just a crease mark from my pyjamas lol.

Sleep: Babymako is a rock star. Sleeps all day and parties all night. Usually, if I'm up for any length of time at night...it's because I have a party going on in my tummy :) Just training me for the future I guess!

Best moment this week: I have two moments!

1) We went to a Labour Intensive class at Birth Rhythms on Monday. It was fantastic!! Totally picked the right class for us and what we want...which isn't easy to do because there is a lot out there..which is a good thing! I am impressed with how many options there are in Saskatoon to find what best suits you, your pregnancy and your delivery. You just have to do the research and educate yourself. So, yay for options! Anyway, Robert and I both left feeling calm and confident! The lady teaching the class was a doula and you can definitely tell what she preferred in terms of a birth plan...but you'll get some bias in any class you choose. But because she assists in any environment, she was able to give factual information that did not involve her opinion. She was really good at explaining all the different birth environments...home or hospital...and preparing you for what birth looks like in each environment and why. She went through what labour looks like, coping skills with your partner, and complications/interventions and why and how they choose each intervention whether you are at home or in a hospital. So good!! And we got a take home tool kit as well as homework. I left feeling like I can do it and I still feel like I can do it!

2) I got to go visit Ros a.k.a Nanny McPhee...my midwife. I love her lol. There is a HUGE wait list. I learned to appreciate her even more in the Labour Intensive class. The couple across from us are due Feb 19th and couldn't get in with the midwives!! They called at 8 weeks...they were disappointed and asked how early I had called...they also joked that I stole their midwife :s I literally peed on the the stick at 5 weeks...called a couple people...and then called the midwives!! They were only 3 weeks behind me!! I don't know what I would do without my Ros...so I love her even more now lol.

It also makes me feel great knowing how many health practitioners know/admire her. My family physician, doulas, and an anaesthetist (my old nannying employer) so far. I have really been trying to get to know her because she gets around and I feel like she probably has great stories to tell :) And it's something I could NEVER do...so I'm curious about her. Needless to say, our two week 45 min apt went to an hour :)

Movement: Lots at night, a bit throughout the day, and when I drink some nice cold water.

Food cravings: Water!

Gender: We are only protecting it for my dad now...everyone else knows lol.

Labor Signs: Nada

Belly Button in or out? In...and I'm scared to "try on the outtie" look anymore for fear that I'll try it and it will stay out.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

What I miss: Still drinking the Pure Blue Unwine. It makes me feel special and relaxed :)

What I am looking forward to: Maternity pics this weekend and my last day of work!! Submitting the paperwork this week :)

Weekly Wisdom: Have confidence in yourself and just do what you have to do to get it done! It's all about your frame of mind...which takes practice and work!

Milestones: Labour class...done! Mat pics...done!
