30 weeks

30 weeks. wow. 30 is a big number. it is also close to 40 weeks. yikes. the end is near. 10 weeks to go. from babycenter.com: Your baby's a bit more than 15 1/2 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and fills out your uterus. Her eyes open and close, she's able to distinguish between light and dark, and she can even follow a light source back and forth. Once 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 a visual acuity of only 20/400 — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. roo and i attended our first baby school class last night called "for baby's sake" where we learned about all the bad things that can happen to babies and kids. we watched a ridiculously old video about household safety that contained nothing more than common sense. but then again, they wouldn't have to tell people not to leave loaded guns on their coffee tables unless some idiots somewhere did it. we got a 30 minute lecture about preventing diaper rash followed by a 30 minute lecture on using the booger sucker. good times. all the other soon to be mommies were frantically writing down everything the nurse said. made me glad i married a pediatrician. :)
