THINKING♥
Im sitting here thinking about all the things that have
happened in my life, and wow have I been through so much shit.
I can't begin to imagine what the future holds for me, but
I hope it will be better than the past. Counting down to
the day my life will be forever changed because I will have
a brand new baby boy here is seriously taking forever.
The beginning of my pregnancy went by so fast, and now it seems
like it slowed down to 5mph. I'm getting really anxious and
I can't wait to meet Emilio Alejandro. But until he is here
my life is going to be full of doctors appointments, family
telling me how to raise my child, and a crowded baby shower
with some relatives I can't stand. 2009 was the best year
of my life so far. My fiance is the best man I have ever
had in my life, and my *DIAMOND*s seriously are really amazing.
Happy Birthday To Me♥

30 weeks♥ Sunday
How your baby's growing:
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. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
How your life's changing:
You may be feeling a little tired these days, especially if you're
having trouble sleeping. You might also feel clumsier than normal,
which is perfectly understandable. Not only are you heavier, but the
concentration of weight in your pregnant belly causes a shift in your
center of gravity. Plus, thanks to hormonal changes, your ligaments
are more lax, so your joints are looser, which may also contribute to
your balance being a bit off. Also, this relaxation of your ligaments
can actually cause your feet to spread permanently, so you may have to
invest in some new shoes in a bigger size.
Remember those mood swings you had earlier in pregnancy? The
combination of uncomfortable symptoms and hormonal changes
can result in a return of those emotional ups and downs.
It's normal to worry about what your labor will be like
or whether you'll be a good parent. But if you can't shake the
blues or feel increasingly irritable or agitated, talk to
your doctor or midwife. You may be among the 1 in 10 expectant
women who battle depression during pregnancy. Also let your
caregiver know if you're frequently nervous or anxious.
