30 Weeks!!!!!

May 24th-May 30th 

How Far Along: 30 weeks!!!  Only 7 more weeks until full term and 10 until due date!

Size of baby: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage).

My baby this week:   A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

Sleep: I've been falling asleep pretty fast lately and sleeping for about 9-10 hours a night. Still getting up at least twice to pee.

Best Moment of the Week: Knowing that I'm finally 30 weeks pregnant and that I could be holding my son in less than 2 months!!!!!

Movement: Yes-baby has been moving a lot this past week except for that one night I ended up in the hospital lol.

Food cravings: Pizza, sushi, and whatever I happen to see on commercials lol!

Gender: BOY!!!!!!

What I Miss: Being able to walk normally. 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Seeing my baby again on our ultrasound. 

Milestones: Having the energy to deep clean my entire apartment today! 

Emotions:  Getting bored sitting at home and wish I could still be working, but otherwise I've been fine. 

Symptoms: Major pubic pain, round-ligament pain, nausea, vomiting, cramps, exhaustion, swelling.
