30 weeks...is it summer yet?

On one hand, I'm so excited that this week has FLOWN by, but on the other hand, I'm ridiculously overwhelmed with everything that I have to do at work in order to be prepared to check out this coming Friday.  I have two rooms to pack up and organize before I leave, and it has to be immaculately done considering that I won't be at work during the first six weeks.  I'm going to have to jump right in to what's going on in September/October, so I have to have all of my ducks in a row before I go or I'll be freaking out about it all summer.  I guess the phrase, "it is what it is" works well here even though I both the phrase and missing out on the first part of the year.  I've been told that when our little nugget gets here I won't mind it so much though!  :-)

Today hubby and I attended graduation.  It was awesome because we have watched these kids mature over the last four years, and this is the first class that we have really been involved with for the full four years.  It's one of the many moments when you're able to see the impact that you have made on the students, and you see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel for many of them.  I can't wait to see what the next four years brings them (and us)!

I had a bit of a meltdown this morning when I couldn't find anything to wear.  I officially feel like a whale, and I know that it's only going to get worse, but I couldn't help but think that everything I put on just accentuated my largeness.  I get that this is part of the process, that it will "melt right off," so I'm not trying to complain (yes, I know I'm complaining), but I do NOT like gaining weight and feeling unattractive.  I'm also not looking for compliments.  I can only imagine that most women go through a phase/stage or whatever of this during their pregnancy...and if they don't, good for them!  I'd love to know where that confidence comes from, and if they could share, that would be fantastic!

How far along: 30 weeks, 5 days
Gender: Boy!
Weight gain: +22
Maternity clothes: Yep!  Many of my pre-preggo shirts still fit, and I'm wearing them regularly; however, maternity clothes are amazing!
Stretch marks: Nope!
Belly button in or out: Still in, but it's not long for the innie world as far as I can tell!
Wedding rings on or off: On...but my hands are swelling a bit at night.  The weather is getting more and more humid, so that's definitely a factor.
Sleep: I had a few nights tossing and turning this week, but most of the time I sleep really well.
Best moment this week: Going to graduation today and watching my amazing student's walk across the stage to get their diplomas!
Miss anything: A night/day without acid reflux!
Happy or moody most of the time: Definitely emotional.
Movement: Still moving like crazy most of the time.
Queasy or sick: Same as last week.
Looking forward to: Finally being done with work for the summer!
