Well this week I graduated to 30 weeks pregnant on my 28th birthday. The fun started with a skype call from my mom, followed by a skype call from Sarah and Cash. I even got a happy birthday song out of Cash, until he realized his name wasn't in the song and he was not pleased.
Adam made sure that since we are now homebound until after the baby, that I had a great birthday here in Zurich. We started off with our tradition of him cooking me dinner. He made Osso Bucco with a saffron risotto, which was fantastic. He also bought me a Longchamp bag that is Navy for our baby boy. It's my hospital bag for January and weekend trip bag when we can travel again. But the party didn't stop there.

Saturday was Abbypalooza. We took off early and he whisked me away up to the Dolder Grand Hotel. It looks like a castle sitting on the side of a mountain. We always see if from the park, but have never gone up there. Well he set up a prenatal massage for me which was just what my poor pregnant back needed. Then for lunch we had a high tea with sandwiches, scones, and a few sweets.
The weather cleared and we could finally see the mountains.
It has been a cloudy, foggy mess here for a long time now. We spent most of the day up there walking around the grounds and looking out over the city. The weather was fall like, 40s to 50s so it was perfect strolling weather. We even found the Ice Skating rink. It's the largest outdoor one in Switzerland I think.

How far along: 30 Weeks
Baby Size: a Cucumber
Total weight gain/loss: Alright it's truth time..I just went to the dr and i'm definitely at 18lbs, the baby is 3.3 of those haha. I need some kind of justification!!
Maternity clothes: Yes, but I can still wear my normal tank tops with my maternity pants
Stretch marks: None where I can see them
Sleep: Pretty much like a rock. I make sure to work out for around 30 min each day and it puts me straight to sleep every night.
Best moment this week: I was leaning back with my feet up on the couch and the laptop was on my lap. All of a sudden he kicked so hard the entire laptop moved. Also, today leaning back in my chair talking with Adam he kept moving my belly up and down and side to side, so Adam could finally see it.
Miss Anything: Cured meats and lunch meats that are uncooked. They are so dry when I cook them so it's not even worth it to make a sandwich.
Movement: Oh too much to keep track of. He had his first set of hiccups this week which was fun to watch on my belly
Food cravings: All things dairy. I love milk, cheese, and yogurt. Can't get enough of them.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope all good
Have you started to show: Please how about what part of me is not showing...my fingers aren't swollen and my feet have started either...that's about it.
Gender: Boy
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: Belly button in!
Wedding rings on or off: On
Mood: Pretty good, i'm nesting like crazy and cleaning the house non stop. Until I get tired and have to sit down which is frequent.
Looking forward to: Visiting the hospital at the end of December and meeting our midwife that will come to our house when I get home from the hospital
