Joe Cool

30 weeks and less than 70 days to go!

Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face.

Went swimming at the KC pool today and had such a great time, but I guess you get to swim all the time in that pint and a half of amniotic fluid. : )

I'm getting bigger, waddling a little, and a bit more clumsy.
Mom is here and gets to join us for our next dr appt tomorrow.
I just asked her what my name was going to be if I was a boy. Joseph.
So, Joseph it is this week, sweet boy...and Joe Cool when I'm feeling sassy.

Thank you, Lord, for another day.
