Let's hope Baby H continues to stay put for a while and doesn't follow in his daddy's footsteps coming 6 1/2 weeks early!!! He is still growing right along and at 30 weeks the realization that he could come very soon has finally started to sink in! I am now going to the doctor every two weeks for checkups and everything seems to be going well. Linc and I attended our Baby Essentials class at the hospital and got some good diaper changing practice. We also learned how to swaddle and there is a chance I may be THE worst swaddler in the entire world. Thank goodness we have some time to practice!Here are some quick facts about Baby H at Week 30:
- He is approximately 15 to 16 inches long and weighs 3 to 4 pounds.
- He is able to use all five of his senses, hearing sounds and seeing bright lights in his environment, and tasting, touching, and even smelling the amniotic fluid surrounding him.
- His toenails have grown and are completely formed.
- His heart rate was in the 150s and he gave the doppler a little punch while we were listening!
- Blood pressure was 124 over 74.
- I only gained three pounds over Christmas and New Years which my midwife was thrilled about. She then went on to tell me a story about a lady who is as far along as I am and gained 12...it made me feel much better about my holiday splurging!! Not to mention at my last appointment they weighed me in the morning and this time around it was late afternoon so I dreaded what the scale was going to say.
- My belly is measuring 30 cm which is exactly what my midwife wanted.
- I have two baby showers coming up that I am SO excited for!
- My momma has started sewing Hami's nursery linens!! Yipeeeeee!! Here is a sneak peek of the fabrics:

You look so cute! 12 pounds! That makes me feel better too, althought I was higher than your 3! Pretty fabric- can't wait to see the finished product.
I LOVE the linens! Good job on the weight gain (I found out mine today at my doctor appt.) you look great! Enjoy your showers, can't wait to see the pics.
I really like those fabrics! It should be a lovely nursery, and totally appropriate for any boys or girls who come along later.
You're looking very trim! I bet we all gained 3 lbs over the holidays!
So glad you stopped by my little blog! I can't wait to hear how the rest of your pregnancy progresses!
I didn't know you were pregnant! Congratulations to you as well!
Oh Boy, we've got 37 coming to the baby shower! Alex and I met with the Club Caterer today and are discussing the menu with Kris. Think Tapas! It's going to be a blast!
