30 Weeks!

Holy cow! I can not believe I'm already 30 weeks. It's going so fast now! In less than 10 weeks Baby Ashton will be in our arms!! I can not wait!! As much as I LOVE being pregnant and I KNOW I will miss the moves and kicks (since this will be our last more than likely) I am so looking forward to meeting our baby.
I'm feeling pretty good! I passed my Glucose Test, but turns out I am very anemic. Guess this is part of the reason why I've been soo freakin' tired lately!! Anyways, no biggie! My OB started me on some iron pills that I am supposed to take on top of my prenatals....I would think 90 mg of iron a day will be enough to get my levels up!! We'll see. Anyways, she wants me to stay on the iron until 4-6 weeks after I deliver Ashton.
Anyways, here is my belly at 30 weeks!!



Here is what Baby Ashton is doing and how he's growing:
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 she 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 her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
