30 weeks - did you know?

• ONLY 10 weeks, left! Let the countdown begin!
• Baby Boy is about 16 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds.
• His eyes are becoming more mature, and now he can tell the difference between light and dark.  Babies at 30 weeks can even follow a light source with their eyes.  Once he is born, he will spend a great deal of time with his eyes closed.  Newborns only have the ability to focus on objects a few inches from their face.  While “normal” adult vision is 20/20, a newborn’s vision is 20/400.
• His skin begins to smoothen as fat deposits accumulate underneath.  The fat insulated and is a energy source.  If the baby was born right now he/she would be able to keep itself warm.
• Baby boy is developing reflexes and the skin is very sensitive.
• His brain is fully formed, and the baby can feel pain. 
• Baby boy is “practicing breathing” to get ready for life outside.
