30 Weeks

How Far Along - 30 Weeks!
Size of Baby - Patrick is about 15.7 inches long and should weigh over 3 pounds now!
What the baby can do this week- His eyesight is continuing to develop, even if it isn't that good when he is born. He is still putting on that baby fat, and losing some lanugo (the fine hair that covers his body to keep him warm). The brain is developing even more and red blood cells are starting to be produced! (I think this has happened before, but some other organ jumps on board around this time)
Total Weight Gain - 18 pounds
Maternity Clothes - Yes! I have found a pair of tights that are so comfortable. I have a few long sweaters and shirts I can wear with them, and plan on finding more. I need to find some more flats...I think my days of heels is over :(
Gender - A baby boy! Patrick James
Sleep -It is ok. I am exhausted, but finding it a little more difficult to get comfortable. I fall asleep right away, but find myself tossing and turning a lot.
What I Crave - Cereal!
Symptoms - Patrick is moving all over the place! I love it! The belly is definitely sticking out now! Almost 26 cm at the last appointment.
Baby Purchases - Nothing this week. I am still stalking my registry and getting excited by all of the purchases. We are definitely loved by family and friends. I still have no idea when the shower is, but I can't wait! Patrick's room is finished being painted and the crib is together (thanks to Michael!). I hope to get the glider in the room this weekend and then put some more things on the wall. I will try to post pictures next week!
