How Far Along: 30 weeks
Size of baby: 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.)
Total Weight Gain: 18 lbs
Sleep: I'm still finding it hard to sleep. I have a pillow between my legs so my hips dont hurt as much, but I'm just not comfortable. Plus, she likes to have a dance party when Marcus wakes up at 5:30am.
Symptoms: I guess normal symptoms. I've felt a little more emotional lately....like I get aggravated easily at things that shouldn't matter. Luckily not with Marcus, though :)
Cravings: COLD water. And lately, anything sweet.
Gender- Madelyn Grace - a girl :)
Movement: She's still moving a good bit! I can feel her in my ribs a lot more often now.
Maternity Clothes: Yup.
Best Moments this week: WELL!!! We put together the crib, and today I scored an awesome dresser for just $10!! Y'all, I'm so excited.
What I'm looking forward to: We are taking a tour of the maternity part of the hospital on Saturday and we are planning to paint the nursery, too! Hopefully we will also get to re-do the dresser as well. After that the nursery will be very close to being done, we will just need to figure out the stuff to hang on the walls :)
Side note: At my 28 week appointment I failed my glucose test, so I had to go back for a long, 3 hour test. The drink the first time just tasted like koolaid, but the second time it was MUCH sweeter. They took my blood every hour for three hours, and then the nurse told me to go feast on whatever I wanted because if I failed the test, I would be on a strict diet. Luckily, I found out Friday that I passed.
Also, yesterday I stubbed the living crap out of my toe, and I'm pretty convinced it is broken. Like, legit, it still hurts. So that is always fun!
School starts back for me on Wednesday, well, pre-planning does. We have our 30 week appointment on Thursday, as well. I will do a nursery update once it is done :)
