30 weeks-
Pounds Gained- 30, I think I will gain about 37 total, the same as my first.
Belly Button- Still an Innie (probably will never be an outie, just like my first pregnancy)
How I feel- I am starting to get achy in my stomach now that I'm in the homestretch and baby is growing by leaps and bounds. I forgot how difficult it is to do certain things like getting in/out of a car, walking fast, and not being able to sleep on my back.
I took a few bump pictures...to be continued!

Pedicure
I am starting to find it very hard to clip my toe nails with the baby bump. While Matt and Sean went to the UM spring game, Jen and I decided to get pedicures! We went to a newer place near my house and it was amazing! I'm not sure if I just needed a leg massage or if they're just really good, but it felt heavenly. I also picked a crazy color, but I love purple and it reminded me of spring. Now when I look at my toes, I am instantly uplifted. My friend had a shade like this on her toes last week so it swayed my decision away from the usual pinks and reds that I go for. I think I may have to get a pedicure every 3-4 weeks, until July, just so I don't have to clip my nails AND so I can have pretty toes!

School
Sean has been going to school (Toddler Program) since March 22nd. The teachers tell me he loves to play outside, build with blocks and is a very good boy. I was very hesitant to start Sean in school, but with his shy demeanor and clingy-ness, I thought some socialization would be good for him. Plus, my siblings and I all started school around this time and we are very smart people =)
I would not call this daycare at all. The ratio of teachers to students is 1 to 3 and the subjects that they learn include reading, art, math, communication (sign language and speaking), physical fitness (outside or gym), and social learning (potty training and self-feeding). They also spend time with the "older" kids (preschool) and infants every week. I've only heard wonderful things about this school and feel better knowing that Sean is at a top-notch institution.
The first day was rough. However, after meeting the teachers and speaking to the director again I knew Sean would be okay, even though I was not. I left the toddler room in tears as I headed to my car. The director stopped me, handed me a kleenex, and sat with me for a few minutes. I truly appreciate how comfortable they made me feel and felt a little embarrassed about the tears, lol. She went back to check on him and reported that he was eating breakfast in his high chair and had picked a little dog figurine to keep him company on his tray. I felt much better leaving knowing that!
A few weeks later- Sean cries everytime I leave him, yet he stops completely and plays happily the second he doesn't see me anymore. Today, he actually went right to his favorite teacher, Miss Nicky, and hugged her while I put his things away. The teachers tell me that I am very lucky to have a boy with his temperament since he is very mild-mannered and wonderfully behaved. I DO feel lucky to have Sean and think that every day.

Third Trimester
Third Trimester woo hoo! I am still very hungry. I hope this huge appetite subsides soon because I am buying a lot of groceries and still have 3 months to go.
