My mom found some website that gives you facts about your baby at however many weeks you are. So here is what it says for 30 weeks....
Your Baby (30 weeks)
Big news for baby's brain this week: It's starting to wrinkle and fold and looks like something that grew in the back of your fridge. This is due to the rapid growth of your little genius's brain cells. Other highlights this week:
Fingernails and toenails are finally finished—causing his or her parents great fear and anguish the first time they try to cut those little daggers (it gets easier, we promise)! Plus, the bone marrow is completely in charge of red-blood-cell production now. Trust us, this is a good thing.
Baby is starting to shed his lanugo—the downy hair that was covering his skin. Now that he's chubbier and better able to regulate his body temp, he doesn't need to sport a fur coat 24/7.
"I spy an umbilical cord and the inside of my mom's uterus!" When your baby is awake, his eyes are now wide open and he's whittling away the hours looking around, checking out his rather dark, limited environs.
Your baby hasn't gained much weight or height this week, as most of his energy's been channeled to the brain. He weighs about 3 pounds and is approximately 15.5 inches long.
Kind of fun and interesting to read. Some a little scary and gross but okay Ill roll with it. One thing it also added was what we might be thinking at this point. It said :
"Wait a minute. The size of what is going to come out something that's the size of what?! Are you kidding me?"
Funny enough...I think those words have actually come out of BOTH mine and Dan's mouth at least once. And as the tummy continues to get huge....we KEEP saying it. I mean how big does it need to be. Shesh! ha ha.
