30 Weeks

Thirty weeks sounds so much closer than anything with a 2 in front of it! I'm starting to feel really big. I pop straight out so I look huge, but when they measure me I'm always average. Looking back at pictures I'm not much bigger than my first pregnancy.

I'm beginning to hear comments like, "Oh wow, you must be counting days now, when are you due?" Pat gets a kick out of the shocked look on their face when I say I'm still counting months. (I now just say I'm due in June, rather than telling them the very end of June)

I'm carrying him a little lower than I carried Preslee. My hip bones are taking a beating rather than my ribs. So I can't complain. :)

He kicks less than Preslee did, but much harder.

This is the first week my favorite skinny jeans won't button up all the way. So I dug out my belly band.

I've passed 5 kidney stones. Hopefully with very few left to come. (I'm not getting my hopes up)

My cravings for tomato based foods have lessened, and now I can't seem to get enough ice cream. After fearing I'll gain too much weight (DQ's mini blizzards are the perfect size...and the only thing in our little town) I realized I'm craving the texture rather than the actual ice cream. So I've switched over to healthy smoothies.

Overall, we've been so very blessed and are counting down the days until he arrives.

    I've read your blog since Preslee's accident but have never left a comment. I have often wanted to but always chicken out because you don't know me. I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think you are! I can't tell you how many times I woud go to lay my baby in her crib and I would think of you and tears would start to fall and I would sit back down and rock her for a little bit longer...knowing that you would give anything to be able to rock Preslee again. Thank you for helping me realize how precious life is and to enjoy every second of it that I can. I'm sorry to hear about your kidney stones. I passed 13 with my last pregnancy and had surgery where they placed a stent...I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. Anyway, just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the impact that you have made on my life! I feel that you have made me a better mother! Thanks for being you! Your baby boy is very lucky to be coming to such wonderful parents!!

    Drink a whole bottle of Coke for your kidney stones {within an hour} --it's suppose to break them down and pass much easier. {My dad had one and I told him about it. He didn't believe me-but tried it anyways. ...and it worked! He passed it without pain}.

    Maybe I don't want to hear about how you are just now not fitting your skinny jeans? At least I put off maternity clothes till 17 weeks this go around :) But I do have to say, I wouldn't want kidney stones - so I guess we all have different issues to deal with while pregnant! You look FANTASTIC and I'm so excited for my little nephew to get here - him and our baby girl will be best buds :)

    You probably already thought of a name, but I though it would be nice if the baby's name started with P, had 2 middle names, one R and one E, and your last name is S. His initials would be P.R.E.S. for Preslee.

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
