30 weeks = head of cabbage

How your baby's growing:
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.)


HOLY COW! I cannot believe that we are 2/3 of the way through this pregnancy! Only 10 weeks and 70 days to go!! It is so exciting! Before I know it, I'll be in the hospital in labor and we'll be welcoming Sweet Pea into this world.

Everything baby related is on schedule too. The nursery has all the chair rail molding up, it just has to be painted to match the baseboards. The furniture should be coming in in the next week and a half. The baby showers are May 16th and 30th. Then after those we can figure out what necessities still need to be bought before Sweet Pea's arrival! Ahhh...it's all coming together quite nicely! And I just have to say I'm so very grateful for my fantastic husband and wonderful parents' help on painting/assembling the nursery. We seriously could not have done it without them. I have the BEST family a gal could ask for!! =)
