According the Babycenter, here is what happening during my 30th week of pregnancy:

Your baby’s about 15.7 inches long now and weighs almost 3 pounds (about the size of a large cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will shrink 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 am I feeling?

1. THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has gone for me. In just a few shorts weeks, I will have my beautiful daughter in my hands!!!!

2. Overall, I feel great. There are days where my energy is zilch and all I want to do is sleep. I do tire very quickly, so I’m glad that we got her nursery done before the last trimester. Speaking of her nursery…if you don’t follow me on instagram, I did take a few photos of her room. Here it is:

So happy to walk into her room and see it complete!! #29weeks #sheisalmosthere #owls #reading #babygirl

 Isn’t it beautiful? I went with the owl theme and I’m happy that I did. Her room turn out amazing!!! I adore walking in and seeing how beautiful it all looks.

3. I’m getting bigger and bigger. Because I am carrying her very high I bump into everything. Seriously. Also I can’t tie my shoes. LOL! And it is getting very hard to sleep. I do toss from my right side to my left side throughout the night but I have to move my whole bump and gah! Sometimes if I do this too quickly, I do have round ligament pain which just wakes me up. Oh and did I mention I’m getting up to go pee about 3 times a night? Yeah, not cool.

4. Baby shower. Now that her room is complete, my mom and I are working on her baby shower. I’m so very excited and blessed to have one thrown by my parents. We went with a Dr. Seuss theme. ( I mean really, I’m a reader. What did you expect? LOL) And since my mom is a teacher she gots loads of stuff from Dr. Seuss week. So excited since the baby shower is also just a few weeks away.

5. Hopsital/Diaper bag: My bag is 90% complete as well as baby Aydah’s diaper bag. I only have a few items that I need to include. Her car seat is also ready to go!

Cravings:

 Still craving meat and fruit, anything spicy. During this pregnancy, I never really had any food aversions. Just stuck to what I wanted to eat. Which is meat… and fruit. LOL.

Well thats about it! From here on out, I will be doing weekly updates for THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!! I’m so excited to meet her.
