My 30th birthday has come and gone, and it doens't feel a whole lot different than 29, or 28 for that matter. Well, aside from this giant protruding belly. I had a great day- breakfast in bed, party at work, and one of the most delicious meals I've ever had with our great friends Erin and Sam.....


In a strange development, in the last two weeks or so I've had three complete strangers walk past me and announce "it's a boy"! Really weird.

On my 30th birthday I hit 30 weeks. Auspicious perhaps. Here's what Baby T is up to this week:

Week Thirty
-Did you know your baby is nearly three pounds now?
-His head is getting larger to accommodate a period of rapid brain growth.
-A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him. As he grows and fills your uterus, the amount of amniotic fluid will decrease. Funny, you certainly won't feel any lighter!
-He spends more and more time practicing opening and closing eyelids. His eyes can move from side to side, following a light source. He may even reach out to touch the light.
-Early lanugo is beginning to disappear that served to protect your baby's skin from the water in the womb. Your little one's own hair may begin to appear.
-Toenails are entering their final growth stage.
-Your baby has the capability now to produce tears -- yes, within the womb.
-By the end of this week, your baby is now 15.7 inches (39.9cm) long and weighs 2.91 pounds (1319gm).
