30 Weeks!!

Countdown!!

10

So far, I really am enjoying being pregnant.  I have been getting tired a little bit more lately, but I don't give in to not feeling 100%.  I think since I don't have a choice as to whether I can or can't go to work or get things done; I just do it.  I also think it helps staying active.  I have a 3 mile loop around my work that I walk 3 days a week. And I love prenatal yoga (they claim it helps with labor pains too- so we will see). Anthony has been such a huge help.  He takes the dog out in the middle of the night if he has to and also rubs my back if I'm having pains.  I got a good one!!!  This months Dr. visit was good; my uterus is measuring right at 30 weeks and blood pressure and weight is all good as well. Other than that I dont have anything exciting to report.

How your baby's growing

Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
