30 Weeks -3 Apr 2012

A mile stone. Sucessfully complete 30 weeks. I still have 10 more weeks to go. Day by day I am becoming heavy and hungry all the time.

How big is my baby:

How is my baby changing?

• From last week Baby starts gaining ½ pound every day.
• Baby’s brain develops every week
• And now that your little genius can regulate his own body temperature and turn up the heat
• s/he'll start shedding lanugo, the downy body hair that's been keeping him warm up

Highlights

• Stronger fetal activity: I can feel my  baby moving every day — sometimes with a punch or a kick (My itty-bitty boxer is getting stronger!), other times with a wiggle or a stretch. I  can also feel more activity after I have a snack or meal and  when you’re lying down.Every day after lucnh, dinner, snack and more during night at around 12 to 12:30.At that time baby is super duper active. S/he kicks me so much , punches me. I know s/he is playing a lot.
• I read somewhere that baby cries now and even the tears also comes when the baby cries Aww! Why do you wanna cry my dear.
• Occasional faintness or dizziness: It’s a common pregnancy symptom. Yes I feel dizzy sometimes , as if I have low sugars even after eating.Not sure if it is because I am eaing less or it’s a common symptom
• Stretch Marks: Day by Day I can see more stretch marks ,like pinkish/reddish lines on my belly and breast. It burns sometimes on the belly.So itchy. I am bascally poring oil and cream on the marks where every its itchy.
• Actually , as my belly is growing it touches to my thighs when I sit. When ever this happens I feel itchy and burning.  
• I told baby names to athaya , she liked Akshara for Girl but She didn’t like Eshaan for Boy. Mostly we will go with’Eshaan Krishna’ itself
• Prepared a video for Krishna's B'day ,completely from Baby.
• Got 4 baby dresses with daddy captions , Krishna's b'day gift. OMG! they are so small...I was surpirsed after seeing them

How am I changing internally:

Thank God I don’t have heart burn or Constipation , instead going 3 times a day J

Except feeling hungry all the time and contractions once in a while I don’t have any others.
