30 Weeks

This week went by very slowly. By Thursday, I thought it should be Friday. Ziggy is now about the size of a cabbage, according to Baby Center. I feel like he/she is feet down because at times I feel her kicks and they are very uncomfortable. I had a knee or elbow at the top of my belly earlier this week. Things are getting more and more uncomfortable. I've been super tired.
I was hoping to rejuvenate myself over the weekend, but the weekend of course went by way too fast. Mom and Dad came to visit. They arrived around lunchtime on Saturday. Mom brought one of my favorite Filipino dishes with her, Sinigang, so we had that for lunch. They definitely captured Eli's attention with the Thomas and Percy starter train set. He was sooo excited! Mom and and Dad wanted to hit DSW so we went after they played with Eli for a little bit after he took his nap. We did not plan on being there too long, but were there for almost 2 hours! They were having a great sale. We all ended up with a new pair of shoes.
We were unable to watch the KU v. Mizzou game because it is one of the few games on ESPNU-- a pay per view channel, so I had my laptop open to refresh every 30 seconds with the score. We won, it seemed a little too close for me.
Eli seems to wake up around 2AM every night, but I bring him back to bed and he falls asleep pretty quickly. Aaron is trying a new strategy to try to get him in his bed and leave his room, but Eli keeps trying to get out of bed. We had a hard time getting him to go to sleep for his afternoon nap today. It was a major struggle.
Today we went to mass, Eli was pretty good. He had a few outbursts, but no biggie. Then Mom and Dad treated us for lunch to celebrate Aaron's b-day which is next weekend. Eli ate a lot! Aaron and I were laughing because Mom and Dad kept piling the food on his plate.
Mom and Dad left when we were trying to get Eli to nap. Aaron and I were both exhausted this afternoon and tried to take a nap, of course Eli woke up from his, so we were the bad parents and plopped him down and had him watch a few episodes oof "Thomas and Friends" while we dozed off for a little while.
I'm not looking forward to another long week.I hope everyone has a Happy Monday!
