Weekly Wisdom: I'm fresh out of wisdom lol

Milestones: Made it to THIRTY weeks!!

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.)

My baby shower is Saturday.. so we have been getting ready for that. It's going to be at my parent's house.. so my mom has been running around trying to get it spick and span for that. That is a daunting task with a 5000 sq. foot home.. especially when a 2 year old is following her around getting into everything! Today I went to the mall and picked up a couple casual comfy maternity shirts for my shower. They're both solid.. one is black and one is white with the ruching on the sides. I feel like it's the only style top that looks decent on me these days. I also got my niece's birthday gift. I got her a pair of Sketcher's twinkle toes and they light up! She is going to love them! She is 2 and already a little shoe freak! Hmm.. not sure what else to say really. Anything else I could say would be me complaining lol. I am honestly soooo miserable and wish I had a time machine so I could speed up the next 9 weeks until my c-section! I am so physically ready to have this baby on the outside! I am in excruciating pain every.single.day. But, I know it will all be worth it when I see my son's little face! Just gotta hang in there a little longer!!!
