Baby Diaries #18

How far along? 30 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 23ish lbs

Maternity clothes? Every single day.

Stretch marks? No new ones yet.

Sleep: Wonderfully each night and yet I'm starting to need the occasional nap during the day.

Best moment this week: Bud getting to feel Bitsy and her acrobatic skills in the womb.  I love watching his expressions change as she gets to kicking and punching!  I love when he talks to my belly!

Movement: Seems to be picking up more and more these days.  I'm in heaven!  I literally feel overwhelmed with excitement each and every time she moves.

Food cravings: Still nothing, very convenient if you ask me.

Gender: It's a Girl!

Labor Signs: No and with only 10 weeks left let's hope it stays that way for awhile!

Belly Button in or out? Outtie from here on out, hehe...silly pun I know.

What I miss: Easily being comfortable on the couch or at the movies.  I now need an extra pillow for lumbar support when I lounge.  

What I am looking forward to: Tomorrow Bud & I are going to Raleigh to see Harry Potter at the IMAX and to check out what the city has to offer.  

Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy pregnancy.  I am every little thing about this pregnancy so much and I can't believe we are nearing the end.  Only 10 more weeks, assuming she's on time and not early OR late!  Every kick/punch or shifting of weight from her is a constant reminder to me of how amazing our God is.  He creates life, I'm just the lucky one who gets to carry this tiny bundle around!

From babycenter.com

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.)
