Today we celebrate passing the 30 week mark and we've celebrated with cupcakes once again and hope to have another cupcake at 32 weeks! The babies now weigh almost 3 pounds each, like the head of a cabbage. They are almost 16 inches long at this point too!
The babies' eyesight continues to develop and they can now see a few inches in front of their face, about 20/400 vision. They don't really need baby contacts though because there's nothing they have to look at but each other. Eyebrows and eyelashes are fully developed and hair is growing. They are putting on fat and are proportioned like a newborn. Babies can be seen experiencing rapid eye movement in ultrasounds, which means they could be dreaming! Hopefully they are dreaming about something nice. We certainly have been dreaming about them for a long time!
On Tuesday I was admitted to the hospital after a routine dr. visit due to preterm labor. So, my wonderful stay at home has come to an end. I'll be in the hospital on strict bedrest until the end of the pregnancy. Unfortunately it's more restrictive than it was before and the meds are very strong and wear on me a lot. It's tough to even read or move a pillow. At least Jason was able to help put this together so I could continue my Friday posts. He'll continue to help me do this until our babies are here!
We may not have pictures for awhile but we did add a photo to the 29 week post from while we were still at home.
Our nursery is starting to come together and we might ahve pictures to share of it next week. Stay tuned.
Grace and Hope
Wait for God. Wait with hope. Hope now; hope always! Pslam 131:3
