OMG I cannot believe that I'm on my 30th week. It seems like yesterday when I was still having those horrible morning sickness now just a couple more weeks and I'm finally going to give birth to Baby JE. I still need a lot of shopping to do for the baby's arrival since I haven't really had the time to go shopping for the baby's things. Plus being pregnant doesn't give me much room to go shopping especially now when I'm always tired. And my tummy is getting bigger and bigger it's hard to walk around for hours on end. Plus I wake up a little later now because I have a hard time sleeping at night because of my tummy. No positions seem to work anymore. Oh well just a couple more weeks and Baby JE will be out so just a little more patience and sacrifice I guess.
Fetal Development:
Our little one is nearly three pounds already and growing like a weed.
The early lanugo is disappearing, the eyelids open and close, and the toenails are growing. The bone marrow is now responsible for red blood cell production.
Maternal Changes:
The best sleeping position for a pregnant woman is on her left side. Your aorta and vena cava are slightly to the right of the center of your back, so laying/sleeping on your left side as much as possible ensures an unobstructed blood flow to your organs and extremities. You may be having some trouble sleeping now. Try one of the many maternity pillows or full-body pillows on the market. Sleeping in a recliner chair might also help, especially when the heartburn gets nasty.
Inspirational Thoughts:
Children are the purpose of life. We were once children and someone took care of us. Now it is our turn to care. ~Cree elder
