Thirty Weeks

How far along: 30 weeks as of April 24, 2012.  I am happy to be in the 3-0s!  I can't believe how quickly time is passing.
Size of baby: Beansprout is about 15.7 inches long, and he weighs approximately 3 pounds, the weight of a head of cabbage (give or take half a pound, I'm guessing).  His eyesight is developing, but it will not be very sharp, even at birth.  He will have 20/400 vision at birth, which means he'll be able to see just a couple of inches from his face.
Movement: He's still kicking in there.  I had a doctor's appointment this week, and he's still head down.  I have noticed more kicks up high near my ribs, so I guess he's learning to use his legs!
Sex of baby: It's a boy!
Sleep: Ok.  I am more tired than I have been, and I can feel myself slowing down.  It is hard to work a job with long hours and feel like I can't keep up.  I'm hoping once I set my maternity leave schedule the workload will slow down some.
What I miss: Having energy!  White wine, turkey sandwiches.
Cravings: Frozen yogurt, cheese dip.
Symptoms: Fatigue has hit again.  I'm also having some swelling of my left ankle and my fingers.  I was told that the baby's position can cause one-sided swelling, because he's pressing on nerves.  I've started to have some nausea after eating, which I think is caused by the compression of the stomach by the uterus. 
What I'm looking forward to: Getting everything in order for Beansprout's room.  I am ordering a bookshelf soon, and I need to research crib mattresses, but other than that, everything has either arrived or is on its way.

Extras: As I mentioned, we had a doctor's appointment this week.  We've now reached the point where we go every two weeks, until 36 weeks, when we go once a week.  Beansprout was measuring right at 30 weeks (so maybe he is past the earlier growth spurt?) and has a steady heart beat of 140-150 beats per minute.  The midwife was able to feel his head, which I thought was cool!
