I am now 30 weeks! I went to see Kaykay yesterday for my 30 week check up and everything went perfectly. We are both measuring perfect so far and his heartbeat is also perfect. The only thing NOT great with the visit was the realization that I have gained 9 pounds in a month!!! Whoop-see! Thank goodness our gym membership is still active because I will LIVE there after Jack is born. :)
Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE my OBGYN? Kaykay is the best doctor that I could have ever even imagined having. She always makes me feel great about the baby’s health and my ever expanding body without sugar coating anything in the process. She knew I was coming in yesterday so she brought us one of her son’s sweet baby blankets. Her son’s name is Jack and she wanted my Jack to have it. I know our Jack will love it! :)
Back to the 30 week update. Jack is now about 16 inches long and weighs a little over 3 pounds. His eyesight is continuing to develop, though it’s not very keen. Even after he is born, he will keep his eyes closed for most of the day and will only have a 20/400 vision (which means he will only be able to make out objects a few inches from his face). He will continue to pack on the pounds in the upcoming weeks at a rate of about ½ pound per week. Aside from his fast development and growth, Jack spends his days making faces, hiccupping, swallowing, breathing, pedaling, sucking his thumb, and kicking Mama! :)
I had a huge realization yesterday that we don’t have long now before we get to meet Jack. I understand that Jack will be here only when he is ready and that is what I want....I don’t want to rush him in any way at all. If we go to term, an induction will be scheduled for December 1st...giving us just 9 weeks to go. If he is anything like Kamryn, he will be ready at 37 weeks...giving us 7 weeks to go. I have felt further along this entire pregnancy so we will see how everything plays out. To say the least, I need to get his nursery ready, NOW!
We go back in two weeks for my 32 week check-up and sonogram!
We get to see our sweet Jack! :)
