30 weeks = cabbage

(But our sweet girl is measuring a little bigger than a cabbage!)

How far along: 30 weeks
Net weight gain/loss: up 19-20 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Yes
Stretch marks: No (still hoping for none!!)
Belly button: a stretched out innie
Sleep: Good…in between bathroom breaks. Some nights I just lose count!
Baby movement: Yes. Her tiny feet are right under my ribs!
Food cravings: Hmmm….guess I have to say “nachos with cheese” from El Patron
Food aversions: No
What I miss: Sleeping on my belly – all night long!
Looking forward to: Getting the bedding finished for Avery Claire’s room.
Best moment this week: Seeing Avery Claire on the ultrasound! And getting furniture put together and set up! Avery Claire is very lucky to have her daddy!
Milestones: Today, Avery Claire weighs 4lbs. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature. Her head is growing to make room for her developing brain. 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 my 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. She definitely has hair all over her head – see pics soon.
