30 Weeks Pregnant

Symptoms for week 30 are somewhat the same as 29. I'll talk about any pain that I've been having first of all. My lower back kills me when I jog or run, not that I jog or run very often, but say for instance it's raining outside, and I need to run from my house to my car, that kills my back! Even when I walk sometimes my back will hurt a little bit. But I know it is normal, my stomach is getting bigger and my back has a lot more weight to support. I also have a little tenderness on my pubic symphysis. I usually only feel that pain later at night, though. If I turn from one side to another at night when I'm in bed, I can definitely feel the pain around that area. 

My sleeping schedule has been nice. Still going to bed somewhat early (compared to what time I used to go to sleep) and waking up earlier. My body has definitely been a lot more exhausted lately, and I get very tired a lot sooner. I haven't had any issues waking up in the middle of the night surprisingly. I figured at this point I'd be waking up at least a few times in the middle of the night to pee. I only wake up once, and usually it's after the sun has already come up, usually around 6 or 7. It's actually really nice not having to wake up so many times during the night. 

Fetal movement for this week has become more often, as it should every week. I feel Rylee moving all over the place. It used to just be in one spot that I'd feel her move, but now I'll feel her moving in a few different spots at once. It actually scares me sometimes, the movements are much stronger. I feel her move a lot early in the morning when I am still asleep, and sometimes it even keeps me up! I am still just so amazed every time I feel her move, I can't believe there is a human in there! I am getting happier and happier as the days go by. 

As for changes in my body, I am still at a healthy weight, I am not too big, or too small. I don't have any stretch marks still (yet), I don't know if I will get them or not, but I will let everyone know for sure by the end of my pregnancy. Like I said before though, my boobs have gotten a few stretch marks, but they haven't changed, they are still the same size (very small and hard to see). I tried pointing them out to my fiance and he couldn't even see them. But I know my body and it's a lot easier for me to spot changes. I have been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter, and maybe my skin just has really good elasticity, or maybe the cocoa butter has helped, either way, I haven't gotten any stretch marks on my belly, or sides. I think I've always had pretty elastic skin though, compared to others. 

I've been feeling pretty short of breath lately, I can definitely tell that Rylee is pushing up against my lungs, or my uterus anyway. I have a harder time breathing, and I think that is one of the most annoying things about pregnancy!! However, I am glad that I don't have any swollen feet/ankles. 

Thank you to everyone who is supporting me, I appreciate everything everyone has done for me, and the support everyone has given me. I may not be able to reply to everyone on YouTube or FaceBook, but I do love you all.
