30 Weeks

Our anniversary was on Friday, but since the sun doesn't sets until around 8:30pm, we could still go out to dinner after Israel got home. So he planned to take me to La Strada. The food is good, but what I love the most is the Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri.  Israel ordered his favorite dish, Chicken Parmigiana, and I ordered a special they had that night, Penne with Beef Tips in a Rosemary Sauce. I wasn't crazy about mine...it was good, but not amazing. However, Israel's chicken was AMAZING. It was huge too, so I would take some from him. Oh, I can just savor it right now. Definitely a nice place to go. Very elegant and good food.

We basically relaxed during the weekend. Saw my dad a few times which is always good because he makes me laugh SO much! Then Sunday evening, I finally got to wash all of Isabella's clothes and get them ready to put away. We've been very fortunate to have a close friend that gave us her daughter's clothes. The clothes are BEAUTIFUL! 

As you can see, Isabella has plenty of clothes for the first few months.

And just to give you a sneak peak...

This is how the nursery is coming along. I still need to decorate a bit, and put some shelves on the walls. Hopefully the nursery will be done by the end of the month.

I leave you with my 30-week belly shot:

How far along: 30 weeks

Gender: Girl

Maternity clothes: I haven't bought anything new. I'm loving the shorts and tanks I bought during Memorial Weekend since it's been so hot lately. (Well, it's been in the high 80's, but humid.)

Stretch marks: Yes :(  Since I haven't had a full-body mirror in the house (because of the floor updates) I didn't see my sides. I saw one little mark on my right side and freaked out. I was doing so well! But I'm rubbing cream and oil all over now, twice a day. I hope it goes away. The belly is fine, no marks there. Hopefully it stays that way.

Belly button in or out: It's still in :)

Sleep: I sleep well at night, even though Isabella is moving a lot when I go to sleep. Sometimes it feels like she's doing somersaults in there, but I can still fall asleep since I'm so tired. I am getting tired during the day and getting some naps in (which I thought I'd never do, since I could never sleep during the day).

Best moment this week:Well my anniversary of course!!! :D I love, love, love being with Israel. (I sound so cheesy, don't I?)

Miss anything: I do miss hot dogs, especially now that people are having bbq's.

Movement: She is one active little girl...And the funny part is when she has hiccups. I love to watch my belly move!

Cravings: Nothing in particular. Just random cravings. Like now I'm craving that Chicken Parmigiana after righting this post :p

Queasy or sick: I do get nauseous at times, but it usually when I eat too much.

Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery.
