There's not much to report this week. I am excited for a shower that the ladies in Nick's office & Todd's wife are throwing me on this coming Friday afternoon. I'm anxious to see/meet some new people and I'll sure I'll have more updates to share. We haven't done too much more since last week in preparation for Baby B, so I thought I'd share some of the email updates on the baby's growth that I receive from thebump.com and fit pregnancy. I always enjoy them:
At week 30:
The baby's length is about 16 inches - about as long as a laptop computer. The weight is approx 2.5-3 lbs. The baby has doubled in size over the past 6 weeks. He/she is floating in about 1 1/2 pints of amniotic fluid with some room to move. (I feel it!) Right now the baby's grip is strong enough to grasp a finger. The baby's eyes are able to track light & some researchers say that exposing the belly to light may stimulate development. Fit pregnancy suggests: try moving a flashlight beam slowly over the belly to see if there's a reaction. (If I had a flashlight right now, I'd definitely try it. Before I can tell you if it works, I'll have to find one.)
