30&31 Weeks!

Okay I'm a little behind on my pregnancy blogging. I am going to combine the two weeks into one short and sweet post. I am still feeling well, the heat has not been a huge factor, mostly because I stay inside :). I had my glucose test and everything is good. I am measuring 2 weeks big, no surprise!. The baby's heart rate was 140 bpm. And of course the one thing I am great at while preggers is gaining weight, which I did. I am still well with in normal range which is good. I am not as concerned with my weight this time, with emery jai it basically fell off so I hope it will again! And considering I will not have 100 plus pounds to loose maybe it will go a little faster. I have to give the credit to 10 months of breastfeeding, it worked amazingly well.
I went to a random OB in Little Rock because I did not/could not make the trip to Nashville. He was so nice and was hysterical. When he found out I was seeing a midwife he made a comment about being granola, I laughed so hard! He said he could "go natural" turns out he could not, everything I wanted he was categorically against. We did agree on one detail, no forceps or vacuum extractions. Oh well, I guess its a good thing he is not going to deliver the baby!
Still not 100% sure about the name. We will keep you posted!

Here is how our little (big) man is doing!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 30:
fetus in seventh month The light is visible at the end of the tunnel! Your oversized self and amazing growing baby have finally reached the single digits (in terms of weeks till birth)! The fine lanugo hair that has been growing all over their little monkey-like body is going to start falling off this week in preparation for the big day. But don’t be shocked if they’re hairier than you’d anticipated, some babies keep their lanugo until after birth. Still, it’s not any cause to be concerned as it will fall off eventually. No surprises here: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs this week thanks to the ever-growing layers of subcutaneous fat. In terms of numbers, they’ll be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and are nearly 16 inches long.

Fetal development in pregnancy week 31:

With each added layer of baby fat their skin starts to look more and more like it will when they finally get to see the light of day. The heavy news: you can expect little miracle-gro to gain about a half a pound of weight gained per week from now until about two weeks before birth. Great. That's just what you needed. Even more weight to carry around!
