30-Week Mark!

Week 30: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. 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.

Hey Jingle Belle,

It's Christmas eve and you turn 30 weeks today! Your Grandma also made it to LA safe and sound...we are elated because she is going to be cooking us some yummy food while she is here visiting. YAY! We get to eat Mommy's favorite, Penang Laksa...yum!

Also, yesterday we went to Daddy's work Christmas party...did you feel lots of hands patting you? Everyone wanted to rub our belly to say hi to you. We had lots of salad, turkey, roast beef and desserts! After the party, we went to the airport to pick your Grandma up.

Can't wait till next Christmas when you will be crawling around the house!

Love, Mom

P/S: Mommy thinks she felt you hiccupping yesterday...what a weird feeling!
