today i'm 30 weeks

Since it's been awhile, here is my huge pregnancy update:
I am just over a month from being full term. I cannot even believe it. Having all these trips the past month made time go by so fast. I'm actually excited to get back to my house and really get going on full-time baby getting ready now that i don't have too much longer. I was a little nervous going to Spain for so long but it worked out great and I didn't have any problems. My grandpa's last words when he was dropping us off at the airport were "Don't come back with a little Spanish citizen."
-I'm still feeling really good, and I'm getting huge! My tummy sticks out so much.
-I'm still getting pretty bad cramping in my legs, and since coming to Texas and actually experiencing warm weather for a change i have found that i also get really swollen feet! Bring on the cankles!
-I don't know if I mentioned this before, but i keep getting weird allergies in my right eye and it will just water constantly. I had it for about 2 weeks in Spain and now it's finally gone. It's so weird and annoying because it is just constantly watering and washes off all my makeup around just my one eye. I call it my "Weepy Eye Syndrome". Pregnancy makes you have the weirdest things.
-I eat pretty much everything in sight and my sweet tooth that was kind of gone at the beginning of my pregnancy is back and stronger than ever. (Lets not even talk about how much weight i gained in Spain eating pastries and ice cream and huge meals everyday)
-Walking around has been my main form of exercise, and walking we did while on vacation.Mixed with occasional climbing up hills, stairs, narrow old cobblestone roads. Thank goodness for comfy shoes.
-Still no stretch marks which i am thanking my lucky stars for everyday and crossing my fingers that it stays that way.
-Baby is still moving around a TON. My book said to do this little test in the morning and at night to count your babies movements. You should have at least 10 in one hour... that takes me about 7 minutes. She is always moving and dancing and spinning and twirling and stretching and who knows what else in there. I love it though, so much so that i get super paranoid if she is not moving around a lot. Paul has to remind me that sometimes she just likes to chill in there.
