Sunday we left home and went to Dan's grandmother's house where we got together for a late brunch with his parents, grandparents, and Aunt's family. It's always a treat to see Martha, Pete and the kids since they live far away and we don't get to see them too often. Dan's mom made bacon, sausage, pancakes, homefries and other yummy breakfast goodies!! (I love breakfast sausage ;)) She also gave us a few gifts for the holiday as well: some candy, I got slippers, and we both got Dunkin Donuts gift cards!! (I will totally be getting a Medium Iced half regular half decaf Caramel Turtle with milk and sugar...its the closet thing to a Marylou's funky fanabala I have had since moving away form the South Shore). The baby got some little clip on bows!
Later we went to my dad's house where we met up with him and Auntie Barbara. Barbara is ALWAYS late for everything so me and Dan decided being slightly late would be ok. well, Brabra showed up early. WHAT? So then we were mega late LOL! There was a gift from Rhonda waiting for me and she got me 2 maternity shirts and a baby rattle for little baby M! Super cute!
My dad made our favorite meal: roast leg of lamb. YUM E! wow! It was delicious as always! Its one of my favorite meals of all time: roast leg of lamb with garlic cloves, roasted red potatoes, and brussel sprouts! we brought a vanilla cake with fruit on it and Brabra brought an Italian dessert platter with all sorts of little pastries on it! Everything was so good! Then my dad surprised me with a little yellow teddy bear for the baby too! (Baby M got way more for Easter than me and Dan combined!)
After leaving my dad's we went to pick up Ryan from his brother Jeff's house. We then braved the highways to drive back to Cambridge. BIG MISTAKE! ugh there was so much traffic it took us 2 hours to get home. BOO.
Overall we had a great Easter and got to visit with lots of family and ate lots of great food!
So today marks another BIG milestone... I am 30 weeks pregnant!! I have officially made it to the home stretch, 10 weeks to go!
My pregnancy has been relatively easy as far as pregnancies go... no complications but I am still so relieved to be this far along! I feel like I have been pregnant for an eternity and I am really happy to know that I have 10 weeks or less left!
I am seeing my OB every other week now and everything is still A-OK! Baby has a strong heartbeat and moves around a lot! I have a little ballerina or tap dancer just waiting to be born! We are still working on the nursery and won't really get too much done until after the baby shower which is coming up soon!
On another note, I leave for Ohio in 6 days to visit Betsy and her new little family!! I can't wait to be on vacation and get out of Massachusetts for a little while! Her little bundle is getting so big now I cannot wait to meet him!
Here is the 30 week rundown...
Size of Baby: Over 3 lbs
Gender: a princess girly girl!!!
Movement: More and more high kicks and less lower ones!
Sleep: What's that? I get up a couple times a night plus I have been sleeping very lightly. Any cat entering the room or Dan rolling over wakes me up, just prep for our little one!
What I Miss: sleeping on my stomach, being able to do a hardcore workout, sushi, wine, normal clothing!
Cravings: none right now
Symptoms: frequent bathroom breaks, more braxton hicks contractions, and sleeplessness.
Milestones: 30 weeks pregnant! wow, just 10 more weeks to go!!!
