Yay…30 weeks! The end is getting nearer…which also means interrupted sleep in getting nearer. But I’m getting excited. I really want to get more things organized and we’re actually getting closer to switching rooms (kids into office, nursery into kids room). Steve, Spencer and Evie have finally all felt the baby move – usually when Steve puts his hand on the belly the baby stops moving – but he was able to feel him. 🙂
So, here’s the update of the 30 week baby growing in my tummy:
Your baby’s about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). 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.)
