I do not feel as big as I look. Sometimes I almost forget I'm pregnant but then I look down and see my big belly and am almost surprised. I have been really relatively comfortable and besides some really crazy dreams and the occasional charlie horse, I have been sleeping pretty well too. I feel like there are days that I am still tired, but for the most part I have had more energy and am doing great.
I have been getting some really strange comments, such as very concerned middle aged men at the gym asking if what I was doing was safe, or a few of my other favorites:
"Wow, that's a really big muscle" says a chubby guy who pats his stomach and points to my stomach at the same time.
"All these chubby mothers..." directed towards me, referring to me and I guess all the other pregnant women in my ward?
"Wow, looks like someone needs to go on a diet!" Umm...thanks?
I have realized that people seriously say whatever they want to a pregnant woman and are often really quite tactless.
I am still loving being pregnant, and feeling this little life inside of me. He is seriously so active, and I am constantly feeling him move around. He is big enough now that I can actually watch my stomach move as he moves, which is really weird but pretty entertaining.
Marcus and I are not in agreement on any names, and I am starting to get worried that our little baby will be nameless. We had four names that we at least agreed on, but as time passes we are not any closer to actually agreeing on any of those than we were when we first were pregnant. We are hoping that when he is born he just really looks like one of the names.
We are getting so excited to meet our little baby and see what he looks like! I cannot believe he will be here in only 10 weeks!

i can't believe people say stuff like that!
Chelsea! I found your blog through the other Clarks. I love it! It was so fun to go back and read through most of your posts. I feel like I know you so much better now. I also really like your style of writing and formatting. You are so cute pregnant and I am so excited for you two! You are going to be amazing parents. Can you believe that if you were me...you would have your baby in just 5 weeks! Watch out...you never know! ;D
Holy stink! I can't believe your 30 weeks already!
You're getting so close...Andrew and I had the same name problem. We talked about it when we first found out I was pregnant and then pretty much avoided the topic till a week before delivery. I felt like I was the type of person who would have no problem coming up with a name for my children but when it's right there in front of you it's unbelievably hard! You're making a lifelong decision on behalf of your child and there is no easy way to make it. Luckily, when he comes it will fall into place and all of a sudden you will both agree on a name with no problems. That's how it happened for us. :) Good luck on these last several weeks and enjoy this time together with Marcus while it's still just the two of you! You guys are in for an incredible treat and the most amazing life-altering experience ever! It's pure heaven.
30 weeks! I always felt like I was almost there at 30 weeks-you're getting so close! That name thing is such a challenge-baby Stella almost came home nameless. And my cute neighbor brought her babe home with 1 name, and then changed it 3 times in that first month!! I'm so glad things are going so well and that you're feeling good.
You look so cute! Those comments made me laugh! It's funny how some people feel the need to say something when really they should keep their mouth shut. Ha ha.
I can't believe you are 30 weeks already!! You look great! :)
Bahahaha!!! I like the big muscle comment...that is just straight classy. You're looking so good! My fav weeks of pregnancy are about 25-35 too :) Enjoy them!!! So fun
You are looking sooo cute! i LOVE that shirt you are wearing. What funny comments people make! Don't worry, little baby will have a name that you will both love.
I definitely remember people making all sorts of uneducated comments when I was pregnant! Good thing you know better than to take any of them personally :) Don't worry too much about the name thing, it will come. Keep enjoying the small moments because they pass all too quickly.
SO cute!! And people TOTALLY say whatever the heck they want and thats when you get to practice your stink eye back at them...
You look so great, Chelsea! And, just wait. The comments continue even after you have the baby...at least they have for me.
So glad you're feeling so good and getting lots of rest. Hope it continues!
Haha people really say that stuff? Funny. Ps you look so good I can't believe how cute your belly is.
