How your baby's growing at 30 weeks:
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, 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. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

How your baby's growing at 29 weeks:
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

this has been a great week! God has just done so much for us! we were still so filled from our trip to prosser, and then friday my aunt ruth called and said she and my cousins jacob foote and his family wanted to come stay the weekend with us! i was so excited! first of all, being home sick 24-7 makes any kind of family seem like the greatest thing in the world! and second, there is no better motivation to get your house clean than company on their way! the house wasnt a mess or anything, but just had alot of little things to clean and get done! we had the most wonderful time with them here! they got in saturday about 3, and we had just enough time to run our errands and get just about everything done! of course i thought we had time to go around the whole house and paint the little scrapes and scuffs on the walls we had been wanting to fix for some time. and that led to fixing some big things and so on and so on. so we had a couple little places that didnt get touched up all the way! but we were so happy to have our family! we visited, had dinner and visted some more! we went to church at nampa on sunday! we had a great meeting! i was hoping to hear jacob talk, i have always liked his preaching! its the kind that steps on my toes, and i need that! i wish we heard more of that! jacob's wife jai started a song i hadnt heard in a while either that really touched me! called treasures unseen! here are the lyrics:
MY HOME MAY NOT LOOK LIKE A CASTLE
AND MY CLOTHES MAY BE LACKING IN STYLE.
AND IF YOU COME SIT AT MY TABLE
A MEAGER SUPPLY YOU MIGHT FIND.

CHORUS

BUT OH ITS NOT WHAT YOU SEE
THAT MAKES ME A KING, MAKES ME A KING.
FOR TO ME I'VE EVERYTHING, ALL THAT I NEED
ALL THAT I NEED, I'VE TREASURES UNSEEN.

NOW GOD MADE A WORLD FILLED WITH BEAUTY
OF THINGS WE ENJOY EVERY DAY.
MY SECRET TO HIDDEN POSSESSIONS
IS TO LOVE HIM AND SERVE HIM EACH DAY.

the chorus was really sweet to me! there are so many songs that i miss, but every church has different favorites. so anyway, after church, we came home and ate and hung out! we had travis, amy, and kris over! we all had a great visit! it went really good! and garret and jacob stayed up later and still visited! makes me really happy to have family and brothern in our home! so they left after breakfast this morning before 10! and i was sad to see them go, but i like to think about all the great things and really meditate on all the good! so im getting back to my email, blogging, facebooking, and what not. then i will clean house...again! it never ends! but there is so much joy knowing its what God wants us to do. hope you all have a good week! and as a side note! ...... i am pretty sure i have been feelin the baby's hiccoughs! so thats a new fun feeling! less than 3 months...wow! so excited <3




How your baby's growing at 28 weeks:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

♥ How your baby's growing at 27 weeks:
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

How your baby's growing at 26 weeks:
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
