Weeks 29-30

Mom and baby are doing fairly well. We just spent a week of being extremely busy so this part of the pregnancy will probably fly by fast. Sara's got a pretty nasty head cold so we are at home resting today instead of going to church. We normally wouldn't but with all the coughing, we just want to be sure not to get too many other people sick. Maleah is kicking around and healthy according to the doctor. Not too much more is going on right now, just getting things ready. Be praying for our home as we are trying to buy it. Thanks for taking a look around!

Maleah Week 29

Your baby measures about 10.4 inches from crown to rump, or a total length of about 16.7 inches from head to toe, and weighs about 2.7 pounds. At this stage a fetus's eyes are almost always blue and can distinguish bright sunlight or artificial light through the uterine wall. Baby is performing fewer acrobatics as conditions in the womb become more cramped, but still doing a lot of kicking and stretching.

Week 30

Your baby measures about 17 inches from head to toe and weighs about 3 pounds. Baby is growing plumper and beginning to control its own body temperature. Eyebrows and eyelashes are fully developed, and hair on the head is getting thicker. Head and body are now proportioned like a newborn's. Hands are now fully formed and fingernails are growing.
