30 Weeks

Here is my belly shot for 30 weeks.

That's me and some of my girl cousins at our annual "Girly Party."

Only (approximately) 10 weeks to go! What's new this week? I had an anxiety attack! It was so strange, mainly because I have never had one before so it was kinda surprising. I've heard from other pregnant moms before that sometimes when your uterus starts pushing on your lungs a lot and you feel like you can't breathe as well, you might feel a little panicky. I was wearing a really tight camisole under my shirt and it must have been too tight around my rib cage cause all of the sudden I started to feel super lightheaded and out of breath.

I sat down on my bed to regain myself and I started feeling.....scared? It's a hard feeling to describe. I was really anxious about feeling like I couldn't breath. So I ripped my shirts off and laid back. I kept trying to tell myself, "You're fine! You can breath fine and you're being ridiculous!" but it was almost out of my control. I started seeing spots even! It lasted like 5 minutes and then I was able to compose myself. I have never dealt with anything weird like that so it was kinda scary.

Last night I had the worst heartburn while trying to go to sleep. Also something I have never dealt with before.

Oh and GOOD news! I said earlier that I was really worried about my weight gain from the last appointment and I am happy to say that I only gained 2 pounds in a little over two weeks! (My belly measurement is right on which means she is growing appropriately too) I was shocked, considering how much I ate on Thanksgiving alone.
