30 weeks pregnant

Miracle Grayce's lanugo might be falling off as she inches closer to delivery day. If you haven’t already, now could be the right time to start thinking about things like Miracle Grayce’s crib and name as she draws closer to needing them!

How’s Miracle Grayce?

The lanugo, Miracle Grayce’s furry coat that’s been keeping her warm in there, will begin to fall off this week as she puts on enough fat to keep herself warm without it. Miracle Grayce is going to start putting on up to a half pound each week until she is born.

Her eyes are in place, but still developing. She can open her eyes, but right now her vision is extremely poor. It will continue to improve while she is in the womb, though. Her vision development is just about to speed up, and she might reach the point of being able to track objects moving horizontally and vertically in just a few short weeks. And by week 34, she will probably have vision that is as strong as it will be at birth.

Miracle Grayce is growing closer to 17 inches, the size of a cantaloupe, and probably weighs somewhere near three and a half pounds. At this point, most babies will start to move from the breech position to the safer, easier birth position where their heads are delivered first. If your healthcare provider says Miracle Grayce doesn’t appear to be moving from the breech position, you can ask them about exercises to encourage Miracle Grayce into the birth position. In all likelihood, though, she is already rotating towards the birth position, and she is definitely growing like crazy, moving closer to that special day!

How’s mom?

Around now, you might notice a return of the mood swings you thought you left behind in the first trimester. You also might have paradoxical symptoms, like increased tiredness right alongside difficulty sleeping. These issues are common, and the important thing is that you’re three quarters of the way done with all of this, and three quarters of the way to Miracle Grayce.

As you approach delivery day, it’s increasingly important to start planning out some of the big things in Miracle Grayce’s life, like her room. The transition from the womb to the world is a pretty drastic one, and you want Miracle Grayce to be in a comfortable and nurturing environment so she can be as happy and healthy as possible. It’s also a good time to start planning ahead about things like where you’re going to get supplies, like diapers (and you’ll need diapers!), and a crib. Even though you’re already a mom, it might take your partner a bit longer to accept parenthood if this is their first child. Let them talk to and touch Miracle Grayce so they can appreciate how huge (and cute) this change in their life is going to be. And get them used to the idea that they are going to be changing a LOT of those diapers!

Pretty interesting to know!!
