Week 30

I now see the doctor every 2 weeks and my next appointment is on Monday. Overall everything has been going pretty well. I started having Braxton Hicks contractions and understand that this is not even close to what real labor will feel like, however all I can say is OMG!!! I have had a few that felt like Kassandra was trying to make her way into the world now.

This weeks update:
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.)
