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.)
Wow. 30 weeks. When I was reading my weekly update this morning on the baby website, it said "feel like you've been pregnant for forever?" Um, no, actually I don't. It honestly feels like just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant! The past 30 weeks have honestly flown by and I just know the next 10 (or so) will probably go by just as quickly and Nugget will be here before we know it!
We went over the weekend and finally picked out a changing table and ordered it and so I'm excited about that coming in and finally getting the nursery set up. I still need to order a slipcover for the rocker/recliner that's in there and I guess I should do that soon too! I'm starting to have the realization that she's going to be here soon and I'm not ready yet!!! YIKES! I've started making guest lists for baby showers and it's just more and more evidence that little Nugget Day is right around the corner. Will I ever really be ready for her?
For the moment I'm choosing to try and focus on my upcoming 3D ultrasound, which is scheduled for next Monday, July 26th. I can't wait to see her in all her 3D glory! It's been a while since I last had an ultrasound and I'm starting to go through withdrawals!! :) I'm also looking forward to the fact that Joe will be done with his first full rotation down in South Georgia on Friday. I'm flying down to meet up with him on Thursday and then riding back home with him on Friday. Then he gets to be home for an entire week! HOORAY! We're also going to our birthing classes at the hospital on July 30th and the 31st. I'm looking forward to those as well. So we really have quite the busy end to this month.
August will probably be just as crazy with showers going on and trying to finalize everything in the nursery for Nugget's arrival, plus the increased frequency of the doctor's visits. I honestly can't wait for September to get here so I can meet my little girl! It's going to be so wonderful and awesome!
