Week 30- Cucumber



This week was a very busy week! The baby shower invitations are out! Mommy really wants to read to you every night so we asked everyone at the baby shower to bring a book and sign it. We also got a sneak peak of you this week! You are beautiful! Our Dr. sent us for a 3D ultrasound to check on your heart. They said that everything looked perfect and that you are a perfectly healthy baby. This was the best news of all. We think that you look like mommy's baby picture. You already weigh 3.13 pounds this week!













Your Baby
Your baby can now see inside your uterus, and even though it’s dark, eyes are wide open and scoping out the environment. Your baby's brain is rapidly growing, and as a result, your little one won’t gain much weight or height this week. Red blood cells are now forming in your baby's bone marrow. Your baby is shedding, but only the lanugo on the skin, not the hair that you and your partner are waiting patiently to see. The hair on your baby's head is actually growing thicker at this point. There is now lung fluid in the alveoli (air sacks) lungs to help your little one take that first breath at birth. Your baby may begin to position itself for birth anytime from now on.
