So, at 30 weeks, the baby is the weight of a cabbage, about 3 pounds.
The baby is about 15.7 inches long now. His/her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he/she's born, it's eyes will stay closed for a good part of the day. When he/she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means the baby can only make out objects a few inches from his/her face.
We had our baby shower, and it was great!! Thanks to my mom and everyone that helped out! We had a lot of fun, and got a lot of really nice gifts! I will post pictures later, my camera battery died, so I need to get my mom's pictures.
I had a little scare after the shower. Sunday night, I realized I hadn't felt the baby move at all. Monday morning, I didn't feel the baby move. We called our midwife and they told us to come in. I had to leave work early, and it was really scary! Of course, once we got there, the stinker started moving like crazy. So, everything was fine.
I also experienced some crazy bad right hip pain this week. I could barely walk, stand or sit! Thank goodness that didn't last more than one evening.
My cousin Katie is moving to LA this week, and we are having a little going away breakfast tomorrow morning. We will really miss Katie, but hopefully not too long after baby Murray is born, she will be back for a visit!

Ohhhhhhh, I can't wait to see the shower pics.
I used to get those pains too. It's your parts stretching, getting ready for childbirth!
Emily, I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant. I had to go in twice a week for several weeks prior to the birth of Allison for a non-stress test to see how the baby was handling the sugar. They gave me ice water or had me chew on ice to get the baby moving. It causes them to move away from the cold. My DH thought that was mean but it worked every time.
Did anyone get you the Detroit Tigers mobile?
