10 Weeks to Go!

We're at 30 weeks - only 10 more to go!

We had a doctor appointment today to check up on Baby B.  Our little one had a somewhat sporadic heartbeat so our midwife wanted to hook me up to the fetal monitor for awhile just to check it out.

 

Baby B. was just fine - having a good time being active in there!


Other new developments for Baby B.:

• His/her weight is now up to around 3 pounds
• Eyesight continues to develop, but is still very weak.  Even after it's born it will only have 20/400 vision, meaning it will only be able to see a few inches in front of its face
• Baby's brain is getting wrinkly! Grooves and indentations increase surface area, meaning more room for that oh-so-essential brain tissue. 
• Like the midwife was seeing, the baby stays very busy. Sometimes it is moving so much I can only imagine it's running in place in there!

Stroller Assembly

We were fortunate to receive an early shower/baby gift from our current roommates Doug and Alicia.  They surprised us with the car seat/stroller travel system that we had registered for.  I (Nic) was particularly excited and couldn't wait to get it together and figure it out (with some help from Steph and Alicia and the illustrations on the box).  See the video of the first test drive of the new stroller.
