Noemi is about 15.7 inches long now and still about the size of a squash. 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 takes up more room. 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 far along? 30 weeks
Weight gain/loss: I'm up a total of 25 pounds. This sounds like a big jump from last week, but my doctor just changed scales and said that, alas, this is the accurate figure and the other scale was too nice. Oh well. I am still gaining weight slower than I did with Joaquin, which is good. Maybe I need to increase my afternoon walks and decrease the chocolate covered caramels.
Sleep? We've been pretty busy lately so I've been going to bed later than normal. I hope to get back to an earlier bedtime soon.
Best moment this week? It was great to see Jay's family in Denver and celebrate with Mia. We also had a lot of fun on a short day trip up to Boulder. What a gorgeous town!
Movement: Noemi is kicking up a storm lately. I can see my belly moving all over the place on a regular basis.
Food cravings: Brussel sprouts sound yummy today.
Belly button in or out? Out and to the right.
What I miss? Having enough energy to give Joaquin as much attention as he wants. It's pretty hard to get on the ground and play with him these days, not to mention getting him dressed.
What I am looking forward to? This Sunday is garage organization day, which will free up some room in our place for Noemi's stuff. I am really looking forward to figuring out how to organize her stuff and get it all ready. I was so on top of this with Joaquin I can't believe I'm already 30 weeks and have barely started this time!
Milestones: Only 10 weeks left!
What I'm nervous about: I really hope this weekend's organization activities are successful and that I figure out a way to fit two kiddos in our house with minimal clutter.
