30 Weeks!


Olivia:
By this week, Olivia's senses are developed to the point where she can taste, touch, see, and hear what's going on around her. She'll also react to stimuli--for instance, when I poke my belly, she may kick or hit back at the spot you've touched. Her brain is starting to wrinkle and fold, due to the rapid growth of my little genius's brain cells. Fingernails and toenails are finally finished. Plus, the bone marrow is completely in charge of red-blood-cell production now. She is starting to shed her lanugo—the downy hair that was covering his skin. Now that she's chubbier and better able to regulate her body temp, she doesn't need to sport a fur coat 24/7. When Olivia is awake, her eyes are now wide open and she's whittling away the hours looking around, checking out her rather dark, limited environs.
Mommy and Daddy:
"Wait a minute. The size of what is going to come out something that's the size of what?! Are you kidding me?"
