30 Week Update

How far along? 30 weeks

How big is baby? 3.3 lbs/16.7 inches, The size of a cucumber

Symptoms? Frequent bathroom trips, heart burn.  Went to the hospital this week, was having some cramping.  When hooked up to the monitor they saw I was contracting but was not in labor, went home a few hours later.   Had ultrasound to check on the previa, its still there, but everything looks perfect.  He is head down.  

Sleep? Waking up early seems to be the norm now.

Food cravings? Made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes for Shahil's birthday at school

Movement? Fast hands and quick feet.  

Clothes?  Maternity clothes all the way around for the most part. New clothes, got a pair of skinny jeans and leggings, so nice to have something new to wear. 

What I am looking forward to? Think we are settling in on a name.  Also our Baby Shower, can't wait to see everyone and celebrate.  

Milestones? His skin is getting smoother and his brain is getting wrinklier.  He is now strong enough to grasp a finger.
