30 Weeks

10 weeks (or less) to go! The final weeks begin and the more excited we get! I'm sure these summer months are going to fly by. A couple days late for this post, sorry. Derek and I visited PA again to see Don and Sam's new house and celebrate Memorial Day. Then I ended up getting a cold.... I'm feeling a little better today and got the energy to blog. So what's new? I've been feeling great and baby's movements have been more prominent. Not only did Sam get to feel Baby Girl Newton wiggle, it was so strong that we could see her kicking! Pregnancy is an amazing, wonderful thing and I'm loving every minute of it!

After another doctor's visit this past Thursday, baby's heartbeat is strong and my belly is measuring at 29 inches. The doctor did confirm that everything with the second glucose test is fine. She also mentioned starting to look into a pediatrician. I also found out that I've gained almost 30 pounds! I've been staying pretty busy so I haven't really gotten to "treat" myself to anything like ice cream sundaes or donuts this week. Although I've wanted peanut butter almost every day.

Baby is the size of a head of cabbage (yuck) measuring almost 16 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds this week. Her skin continues to get smoother while her brain is getting wrinklier, to make way for all the essential brain tissue. Even though she's so small, she is strong enough to grasp a finger now!
