Hello, welcome!
Okay, so I'm gonna do my 30 week pregnancy update.
As of filming this I'm a little bit less than 30 weeks, but that's good enough.
Okay, so for 30 weeks... what is up with the baby?
Right now the baby is about 17 inches and around 3 to 3.5 pounds...
somewhere in there, depending on which app you're talking about.
It says the baby should be gaining about half a pound every week which means I'm gonna be huge!
But also interesting, recently we had a midwife appointment. It was a week ago...
week and a half ago and they said that the baby's head is down, so hopefully it stays that way.
Oh what's so interesting is it says that the baby's like little hairs which are called lanugo
is starting to fall off now. So it's just starting...
it still has some but it's starting to shed and that's pretty interesting.
Okay so what is going on with me?
Recently I've been having more, I guess SPD. I haven't actually been labeled with SPD,
but I kinda guess I have it. I've been having more pain,
especially getting up... like standing up going from sitting to standing, that sort of thing.
Sometimes I'm also having pain walking. It really just depends on the day.
Recently we had a really long trip to come here.. as you can see
I have a different background. I'm filming at my mother-in-law's house
and anyway we had a really long trip here and I would say was about 7 around 7 1/2 hours
and you know I sat for quite a long time and usually I'm in pain if I do that.
But I wasn't and then yesterday I just kind of had a chill day and I was in more pain walking.
So you know more in like my pubic bone area, but I I don't know.
Um... I have been having issues with sleeping now.
I definitely think that I have a pregnancy insomnia.
So I've been having issues falling asleep and then I have issues waking up really early.
Like recently, before vacation, I was waking up around 4:45 in the morning and I just couldn't sleep.
Then you know I would crash later and take like a nap during nap time.
But here I've been waking up around 6:00 but I've been falling asleep around 11:00, sometimes midnight.
So and then of course I'm waking up to use the bathroom probably at least once or twice every night,
and then I'll wake up again at 6:00 and then it sucks because Mikko
has been sleeping in till almost 8:00a while we're here every day
and I could be sleeping in but my body just won't let me.
I don't know... I'm starting to I guess get a little bit nervous
about you know preparing for the baby because I'm you know thirty weeks and not much longer.
So like two and a half-ish months and so I've been thinking about like doing freezer meals,
making sure that Jenna sets up the crib soon, and also soon I'm gonna be making a list of
you know collecting things like for my hospital bag.
Probably you know be pretty similar to the last one. Maybe just a few less items
because I know there's things we don't need. But right now I've been looking for a potential,
maybe a new diaper bag. Something just a little bit bigger, backpack style.
I still like the backpacks that we have now, but the one we have now
just fits into things that Mikko, my son needs. So we might have to get a second one.
Just something a little bit different and bigger. So I am on the search for that right now.
So if I find something I like, I will let you know.
I would say other than that, really not much new has been happening.
I am measuring like right on track. My appointment I was 28 weeks and I measured 28 weeks.
So, before at my 26 I was measuring 25 but now I'm 28 at 28. So perfect measurements.
I've really had no other symptoms. I mean it's been pretty chill over the past couple weeks.
So we will see at the next midwife appointment.
Which I think is Monday... well, like in two weeks on Monday.
It's supposed to be this week on like Friday, but that didn't work out.
So we'll have it I think next week on Monday or whatever that day is.
I don't remember. I think I'll be 31 weeks technically at that appointment,
even though I was supposed to go on my thirty weeks. But that's okay.
So... oh and also I wanted to mention two products that I thought were really cool and I'm excited about.
The first one. Obviously I'm on vacation, I don't have the products with me...
but I do have one, but it's upstairs being used.
The second one I'm actually waiting to get, but I'm super excited about it.
I will do a full review on that product once I get it.
But the first thing is recently... we will buy one for this baby,
but we got a different baby monitor. Before we had the Owlet,
not the sock, I'm talking about but the actual Owlet camera.
I will make an entire video just reviewing that camera and why we don't like it.
But like I said the new one, monitor that we got, is this one,
which is the Lollipop baby monitor.
So far we've had a couple weeks now and I actually really like it.
We set it up at home and I don't think the setup was too bad.
Then what I really like is it's easy to mount it on the wall.
It's a really simple installation. You just put it up there.
I like it because you can either use it for like your baby... just looking at the crib
or you can use it as a whole room monitor. Which is what we do for my son,
because he's two now... well he's almost two.
So like I said we use it as like a room camera and I really like it for that reason
and it's nice because it has a specific noise and crying detection.
Which is awesome, especially for Jenna, cause she's deaf
and she can't hear if the baby's crying. Also, it has what's called a crossing detection.
So you can set it... it's almost like you draw a little line...
I'll show you what it looks like here. Then if you set up this line and then if you know
Mikko like walks across that line, it'll let you know.
So for us we don't care if he gets out of bed for specific reasons, but if he goes behind something
or specific areas of the room, we want to just kind of know. Like what the off limit areas are...
at least what he's doing. So we set up that boundary so if he's walking there,
like "okay what's going on"? We can just kind of keep an eye on him.
If he sleeps the whole way, then it's fine. So that is the first thing that I really like,
and if you want a full review on that, please let me know.
The second thing, which I'm thrilled to get but I haven't received it.
So it's not really like a review, but I'll review it later. It's called the RockerMama.
I think that's the right spelling. It's this...
and oh it looks so cool. We have a glider chair,
but our room is pretty small and so this product is what I'm excited about.
Like I said, I will link them both down below if you're interested. Please go ahead and get one.
But I will do definitely a full review of both if you want them at a later time.
So let me know either one or both if you want a review for them, okay.
Okay, so now I'm gonna show you the belly. It's big as usual...
hold on this is gonna be a little bit awkward place to film it.
Okay I think that's it. Hopefully you have enjoyed this pregnancy update
and I know it's kind of a shorter one, but didn't really have much going on.
Just wait for the bubs to get fatter and that's about it.
Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you in the next one, bye!
