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.)See what your baby looks like this week.Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.
How your life's changing:You may be feeling a little tired these days, especially if you're having trouble sleeping. You might also feel clumsier than normal, which is perfectly understandable. Not only are you heavier, but the concentration of weight in your pregnant belly causes a shift in your center of gravity. Plus, thanks to hormonal changes, your ligaments are more lax, so your joints are looser, which may also contribute to your balance being a bit off. Also, this relaxation of your ligaments can actually cause your feet to spread permanently, so you may have to invest in some new shoes in a bigger size.Remember those mood swings you had earlier in pregnancy? The combination of uncomfortable symptoms and hormonal changes can result in a return of those emotional ups and downs. It's normal to worry about what your labor will be like or whether you'll be a good parent. But if you can't shake the blues or feel increasingly irritable or agitated, talk to your doctor or midwife. You may be among the 1 in 10 expectant women who battle depression during pregnancy. Also let your caregiver know if you're frequently nervous or anxious.

Update: We are doing pretty good. I went to my doctor on Tuesday, and we are moving along. My blood pressure was up a little but he wanted me to see the specialist on Wednesday and see what she said. So, wednesday morning we had our appointment with the specialist. It was up a little bit again, but not as bad. However, she said the medicine should be helping more than it is. So, if it gets worse in the next couple of weeks, or I have to be put back in the hospital, then we are going to start steriod shots to help the babys lungs develop. Hopefully, we won't have to do this. I don't want to have him to early where he has to stay at the hospital and I go home. So, our goal is still to get to 34 weeks, and then if we make it there we will aim for 37 weeks. I will be going to see my doctor every tuesday, and then see the specialist twice a week on tuesdays and fridays so she can keep a close eye on things. So, if you need to find me, I will probably be at the doctors office. =)
