Thirty

Today I am 30 weeks along, and tomorrow I will be 30 years old, so here are my thoughts on hitting my 30's. : )

30 Weeks Pregnant

At 30 weeks I'm feeling pretty good. It's getting a little harder to bend over, climb the stairs, load kids into car seats and keep up with run away toddlers, but overall I can't complain. Unlike last time I've had no troubles with heartburn, I'm sleeping great and I'm walking a lot more than waddling so that's good!

This morning I stepped on the scale and low and behold, 30 must be the magic number of the week because that's how many pounds I've gained. I was hoping that would be my grand total but with 10 weeks to go (which cover the holidays) it looks like I won't be stopping at 30 ; ) That's okay though, it's totally worth it and I'm definitely enjoying every bite!

30 Years Old

I have to admit I've had a little bit of a hard time coming to grips with the fact that I'm turning 30. I didn't think it would be a big deal but I've definitely had some, "whoa, I'm going to be 30!" moments and the feeling that accompanies them isn't exactly euphoria. I think it's because I'm super prego and not in shape and about to be a mother of 3 and I don't know, it just feels heavy.

Taber cheered me up though by reminding me that he wasn't in great shape when he turned 30 either. But on his birthday he decided that his 30's were going to be the decade of health, so he started running, dropped 30 lbs, and I mean just look at the guy, you can't deny he makes the 30's look GOOD!

So yeah, I'm hoping to follow in his footsteps once the baby gets here and make 30 look as good as he does. : ) In the mean time though the celebrations to ring in the new decade have already begun. Last weekend Taber took me out to Takumi, a great Japanese restaurant with Hibachi grills.

We were thoroughly entertained and loved all the yummy food. They even brought me a little birthday dessert with a candle and sang Happy birthday.

After dinner we went to the apple store to drool over iPads and then we went to see RED, which was surprisingly really funny and entertaining. It was a great way to kick off birthday week.

Yesterday my friends had a little birthday brunch for me which included more yummy food and a homemade birthday cake! (Thank you Suzanne!!) And tomorrow we are heading out to Michigan to ring in the big day with some of our best friends, the Hogges, who are insanely awesome, funny and cool and are nice enough to host us for the weekend and take our family pictures (Laurel is like the world's most amazing photographer so I am STOKED that she's doing our pictures!) So yeah, lots to look forward too this weekend, I guess turning 30 isn't that bad after all. : )
