30 Weeks Pregnant

Baby Developments

Baby Wilson is about 15.7 inches long now. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger. Her eyesight is developing and will continue after she's born.  For now, 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.

Medical Update

Over the past week baby Wilson has been more active than usual. So active, that some of her moves have become to feel questionably unsafe. As a first time mom, this worried me so after talking with our OB, I was sent off to the hospital to make sure everything was alright. Good news is her heart beat is strong. I also took a test to predict if I could go into early labor. This came back negative. The only concerning information was that I am having contractions that are a little too frequent than I should be having at 30 weeks. I can't feel them so that is supposed to be a good sign.

 said she has big lips and long legs!

Look Forward To...

AUSTIN
Austin is calling my name! I haven't been home in 5 months so I'm really looking forward to a long weekend in Austin. My sister Kelly is also pregnant and expecting a girl just 8 weeks after me. It's been so much fun going through this experience with her. We're having a joint baby shower on Saturday which will mostly consist of family. I'm really looking forward to spending time with everyone.
