Today we are 30 weeks along:)
Bean is about 15.7 inches long from head to toe and weighs about 3lbs (about the size of a good head of cabbage). Roughly a pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room. Her eyesight continues to develop, but even after she's born she'll keep her eyes closed most of the day. When she does open her eyes, her vision will be about 20/400, meaning she can only make out shapes a few inches from her face. She will be able to react to changes in light, as well as deep contrast between colors.
Only 10 weeks until Bean's due date, but, like the doctor said yesterday, we'll likely meet her earlier. Every Tuesday will be a small victory. The longer she stays put, the better!
