30wks

30 done and 10 left! (70 days give or take a few) I cannot believe it! I'm getting to the typical 3rd trimester stage of getting/being uncomfortable and getting anxious/ready for the baby to arrive. I think/believe the 3rd trimester is/will be the hardest and most uncomfortable for me. I want to do so much during the day but just don't have the energy for it.

Symptoms: Hungry, tired, heartburn, pelvic pain, headaches, dizziness, thirstiness, prego brain, frequent urination, aches and pains and laziness. (I feel so bad that lately I haven't done much around here, because I haven't felt like cleaning or cooking much due to my aches and pains. I have been having such a hard time with bending over.

Cravings: Orange , Apple & Grape Juice, Pineapple, Mexican food



Your baby rivals a good-size cabbage in weight, tipping the scales this week at 3 pounds. (Length: about 15 3/4 inches, head to heel.)

*Did you know your baby is nearly three pounds now?
*Her head is getting larger to accommodate a period of rapid brain growth. Don't forget to continue to "teach" your baby in the womb by exposing to music, literature, and simply talking to her.
*A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her. Ass he grows and fills your uterus, the amount of amniotic fluid will decrease. Funny, you certainly won't feel any lighter!
*She spends more and more time practicing opening and closing eyelids. Her eyes can move from side to side, following a light source. She may even reach out to touch the light.
*Early lanugo is beginning to disappear that served to protect your baby's skin from the water in the womb. Your little one's own hair may begin to appear.
*Toenails are entering their final growth stage.
*Bone marrow is now in charge of red blood cell production. These red blood cells will continue to service your child's body by transporting oxygen and removing the wastes (carbon monoxide and other gases).
*Your baby has the capability now to produce tears -- yes, within the womb.
*By the end of this week, your baby is now 15.7 inches (39.9cm) long and weighs 2.91 pounds (1319gm). About the size/weight of a cabbage head.
