play day

here's a picture of my worn out toddler trying out her sister's infant seat! she likes watching tv in it--it must be comfortable! amelie and i had a very nice morning! we met up with our friends in the church nursery for some play time in the a.c. since it's a million degrees outside! silly me, i forgot to take my camera with me--they were being super cute and having fun together--it's wonderful to have friends with kiddos the same age! we even had a special treat when daddy made us pizza! he's the best!

still no word on our apartment situation--hopefully all will be resolved by the end of the week...

here's the story on m.v.w.--we have a check up tomorrow and then we switch to being seen every other week! the time is flying by! 10 weeks to go if we make it to 40! only 5 weeks if she's the same kind of early bird that her sister was!

Week 30
Your Baby's Development
Your baby has probably reached three pounds and about 14 inches in length. She’s also filling out a bit as she continues to gain weight, and these layers of fat help her to appear less wrinkled.

As practice for breathing after birth, your baby is mimicking breathing movements by repeatedly moving her diaphragm in a rhythmic way. This can trigger hiccups if she inadvertently inhales amniotic fluid. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid now surrounds your baby, but that volume decreases as she gets bigger and has less room in your uterus.

Here's what else is happening this week:

Baby's head continues to grow, and brain growth speeds up even more.
Baby's hearing is improving; nearly all babies can react (by movement) to sound by this week.
