Pregnancy - Week 30

The following does not necessarily have to do with my pregnancy - just some new information you might care to know:

It has been officially approved by my work, that I can work part-time after Jax is born. We will do this on a 3 month trial basis (after I get back from Maternity Leave) and see if it works out for all parties involved. I'm very excited about this part-time work. I know the income will be needed, but I'm so glad I will have some time at home with the baby, too.

On to some more pregnancy related issues -

Have I mentioned on here yet that through this pregnancy I have had bad breath? It's a little embarrassing, but I want to remember it! A couple of times over the last few months, Nik has mentioned (nicely) that he has never noticed that I had bad breath...until I became pregnant. Apparently, pregnancy gives me bad breath! (This was mentioned again this week...that is why it is fresh on the brain). I think it's a little funny. Nik has been very nice about my bad breath (don't think he is being mean) - it's just one of those things, I guess! I know Nik would much rather deal with bad breath than hold my hair back while I puke in the toilet everyday. Ha!

I have been having some more Braxton Hicks Contractions. Nothing serious - but they show up.

My dreams have been crazy. I hear this happens. I can't really recall them - I just know when I wake up, that I'm not really sure I want to go back to sleep because I don't want to dream anymore! I thought I was supposed to be having dreams of my sweet little baby.... not so much.

Cravings - I have not really had many cravings. I craved canned peaches for awhile, but I'm over that. The only other thing that I want a couple times a week is a sausage biscuit from McDonalds. And so I get one at least once a week.

I think that is all. I'm trying to enjoy these last weeks of being pregnant. It really can be fun - the baby moving, the way cashiers become nice to you and ask about your due date, the way people forgive you when you forget things.... I'm taking it all in!

And here are new pictures. I'm definitely growing...
