30 weeks and counting....

I can't believe i am almost done with being pregnant! It has actually gone by really fast, and i have a feeling our little guy will be here in no time! I went to my 30 week check up yesterday at my doctor. He said my blood pressure & weight looks good. I start going every 2 weeks now in tell i have the baby. He said he will start checking me at 36 or 37 weeks to see how i am coming along. I'm really excited, but feel i have a ton of stuff to get done. I want to get Harper's room painted, the babies room painted, move my office down stairs, get the crib set up in the babies room, and get all my boy clothes out of there totes and start washing them and actually remember what i have and what i will need to get! We have been thinking about names for a while too of what we want to name this little guy, we both really like the name Garrett. But we haven't set that in stone yet, we have to of course see the little guy before we name him, but that is what we both really like and are hoping to name him!
What baby center sends me each week about my pregnancy
30 Weeks
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

AHhhhhh You look adorable! Your pregnancy has gone by fast, it seems like you were just telling me and Sheridan that you wanted to try and have a baby and now your 30 weeks along!! Harper looks so cute in his new bed. Oh and I really like the name Garret. Everyone at our ward always seem to forget Gavin's name and they all call him Garret, it's so funny! Maybe your baby will get called Gavin all the time instead of Garret ;)

You look so cute! I can't believe you are 30 weeks, that is awesome! Hopefully by time you have your baby it will be starting to get warm!
