Oops...I skipped 29 weeks! Sorry :) I started a chalkboard drawing at around 29 wks, 5 days and then I just rolled on into 30 weeks without a picture in front of it or a post. And, my camera died...sad story! Especially because I left my camera charger down in Florida. Luckily it has lasted me this long, and I go back to Florida soon :) So in the mean time, it's back to the ol' point and shoot. Here's the 29 week chalkboard drawing...certainly not my favorite, but oh well!
The 29 week mark consisted of an ultrasound, a doctors appointment, crib delivery, nursery set up, and more. I guess it was a pretty big week for us, and perhaps that is why I didn't get around to a chalkboard post. The doctors appointment went well and she suggests the childbirth class offered through the hospital. Hmm...Suggestions?
J finished up another rotation. These things are flying by, huh? Up next: Family Medicine. Here's hoping for lots of learning, great experience, and a (somewhat) decent schedule!

Happy Labor Day, everyone! We wish our day could be filled with floating down some sort of river, lake, or ocean, with a drink in hand (beer for him, lemonade for me), and hanging with friends or family. But let's be honest, there's not too much of that goin' on in the W, so instead we shopped at Publix, cleaned up around the house and garage, sprayed for all the damn pesky bugs around this house, and now we've got burgers on the grill, corn on the cob cooking, and an artichoke steaming, getting ready to be dipped in delicious lemon garlic butter. Life is a little different when we're not stuck in our college days! We did, however, spend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday indulging in far too much BBQ food (and treats)! So cheers to that!
Check out the mini hamburger cookies I brought to our friends...best part? No baking! Just 2 Nilla Wafers, a Grasshopper cookie in the middle, kept together by yellow and red frosting. Yummy!

30 weeks!
- How far along?: 30 weeks, 4 days
- Baby is the size of a: Cucumber. Average size: 15.2 -16.7 inches, 2.5-3.8 lb. During the ultrasound at 29 weeks, the tech said baby girl was 3 lbs.
- Total weight gain/loss: +17
- The Bump: Measuring on track according to the doctor
- Symptoms: I've been getting some mild back pain when sitting or standing for too long. Must change positions frequently!
- Food Cravings: None really. Lots of things sound good to me, though! Oh, and you know how much I've loved BLT's throughout the pregnancy? Well, Lay's now makes some BLT potato chips, and yes, we picked up a bag!
- Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: People have told me that the iron pills I need to take make you nauseous, and I really haven't noticed as I take them right before bed. BUT, the other night I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night to take all my medicine, and I was up for about an hour after that feeling sick. I assume it was the iron pill...?
- Sleep: Sleep has been pretty decent...hope I'm not jinxing it!
- What I miss: Really not a whole lot. But our friend suggested we have a post-pregnancy party for me where I indulge in all things on the "no-no list" during pregnancy! (This idea came up during a get together with a Publix sub tray!)
- Weddings Rings On or Off: On..I may have to switch to just my wedding band soon..but it looks so naked that way!
- Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes, actually, this came very easy for us contrary to what everyone told us about picking out names...but you'll just have to wait ;)
- Gender: Baby Barr is a girl! :)
- Movement: She has her moments. She is good when I'm sleeping though, which is great! I love her wiggles.
- Maternity Clothes: Sometimes. Still sporting the non-prego clothes as much as I can. Although the shirt in the chalkboard pic is clearly a bit short! And stripes don't do me very well.
- Labor Signs: N/A
- Best Moment of the Week: Getting the nursery together even more, and of course, watching baby girl move around always makes us smile!
- What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Meeting our baby girl and holding her in our arms in 6 1/2 - 10 weeks. Only 6 1/2 til full-term....that seems crazy to me. I'm also excited about going to Florida in a few weeks to see family and friends for the baby shower!

Last week, I busted out the Ninja and made some delicious strawberry daiquiris (virgin!) while putting the nursery together. We also lit the baby scented candle to give her room that oh-so-yummy baby scent! ;) Thanks to the in-laws for both the candle and the daiquiri mixes they left in the freezer :)

Hope everyone has had a wonderful labor day, and that you've celebrated it exactly how you've wanted! {preferably somewhere in the water with a drink in hand or some big ol' bbq!}
