Baby bump 30 weeks!!

At this point the baby is approximately 3 pounds and 15 inches long! It is hard to believe we only have 10 more weeks left, but during that time the baby will grow between 4-6 inches and will gain about 5 pounds - give or take a few inches and pounds. The baby is about the size of a head of cabbage.

Right now the baby has plenty of room to make big movements laying with its head up, head down, as well as laying side to side. We can see the kicks on the outside, although we can't quite make out what body parts we are seeing. The baby is most active after meal time - at any point during the day and has been more active now that Mom has been relaxing on summer vacation. The baby can't quite reach Mom's ribs, but sure tries to kick them - especially when she bends over. The baby likes to kick anything that is on top of her tummy - unless it is Dad's hand! All and all, we are all doing well and are very excited to see what the next 10 weeks brings.
