30 weeks

Here is us today at 30 weeks which is also known as 8 months! You might not know that pregnancy is actually closer to 9.5 or 10 months long. So we have about 2 more months to go - the end of January is the goal. Babycenter says the baby is about 15.7 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds, about the size of a head of cabbage or a squash.

The weight is still coming on, but I've never been more thankful. A friend's daughter went into premature labor and delivered her 28 week old daughter on Wednesday. They have a long road before them for sure and have been in our prayers constantly. So every time our little baby kicks, rolls, jabs, hiccups, causes heartburn, you name it - I'm thankful he/she is still in there. Babies are amazing. Just think, that kid is just chillin inside of me, but if it were to come out, it would take a whole team of smart medical people to keep it growing and thriving. Inside me, it happens so naturally, effortlessly.

So no complaints this week.
