30 weeks!!

I cannot believe that 30 weeks have passed and we have so few to go! We're 3/4 of the way there! At times it feels like the 40 week mark will never arrive and yet when looking back it seems to have gone so quickly. I have this feeling that Evan will arrive earlier than 40 weeks. I was correct in guessing his gender and I hope am with this one too. After Paul took this picture I told him, "Wow. My belly isn't as big as I thought it was!"

To which he replies, "Let me take one to show you how it really looks." And VOILA! It looks much bigger now! (You can even see my belly button coming out!)

Our friend, Pam, is taking maternity photos for us this weekend. Hopefully, I will be able to post some of those soon afterwords.

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.)

10 WEEKS TO GO! Single digits...here we come!
