Your Pregnancy: Week 30 for Baby
By: ePregnancy
Like Hansel in the gingerbread house, your little one is continuing to accumulate body fat this week, and he’s finally beginning to control his own body temperature. The added fat brings him to about 3 lbs. -- the size of a small pumpkin. The lanugo he developed weeks ago is starting to drop off; at the same time, his eyebrows and lashes are developed and the hair on his head is thickening. His head and body are now proportionate and he is busy growing in those teensy toenails.

Kayla, on her 30-week ultrasound: "So far, my not-so-little guy is measuring in at 4.7 pounds! The doc said that it could've been a growth spurt, but either way she's going to continue to monitor him closely because of my gestational diabetes. Also, the ultrasound tech was able to tell me that he even has hair on his head!! I knew the indigestion had to be for something! It was amazing how much he had grown and all of him definitely doesn't fit on the u/s screen anymore! He's also head down (for the moment anyway)."
