Baby already measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long. Right now, we weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds but he’s still got a ways to go — can you believe he’ll triple in weight before birth? She’s getting a little cramped in there, since she’s growing so fast. But you probably already realize that, since you’re getting all those jabs and kicks. She’s growing white fat deposits under his skin, and his energy is surging because of it. Feel a subtle twitch? It might be baby hiccupping.
Your 15.2- to 16.7-inch, 2.5- to 3.8-pound baby continues to grow. Her skin is getting smoother. But her brain is getting wrinklier — to make way for all that essential brain tissue. She’s now strong enough to grasp a finger!
How Far Along: 30+2
Due Date: March 13th, 2013
Boy or girl: GIRL
Currently craving: Ice Cream. Yum.
Currently Avoiding: I should be avoiding anything that gives me heartburn or indigestion but I have failed at that because everything gives me indigestion!
Weight: If I don’t ask I can’t tell!
Belly button status: IN!
Sleep grade: I can not get enough of it. I would like to start taking daily naps.
Recent Crazy Dream: Tons but none that I feel like getting into. I’m too tired 😉
Evidence of pregnancy brain: I leave things out all the time. Can’t remember what I’m saying half the time. I forget to write emails, I save them in drafts and then never send because I just can’t remember anything. gah.
Symptoms?: I’ve been a little nauseous lately and extremely tired but as far as being tired goes I’m not doing enough to keep myself *not tired*. Does that make sense?
Health/Appointments: So far so good! I got a shot today but I haven’t been to the doctor’s in over 2 weeks for an actual appointment which doesn’t sound like much but is a lot for me. I had to miss my appointment because I was visiting my family. So now I have an appointment on Monday morning. I get an u/s to see Baby3.
Movement: I’m feeling lots of kicks and punches but also rolls. I need to get it on tape!
Names: Standing answer. We’re screwed. I’m getting really frustrated. We’re running out of time.
Any baby related purchases? I got a ton of cute stuff at Babies R Us. It’s all seasonal/holiday stuff but it was a steal and I had a gift card! My grandmother also got some stuff for Baby3 for Christmas which is super cute. I’ll have to take pictures of everything and share!

Sonya Morris says
You are one week ahead of me and I am tired too! It was the same way for baby #3. I would get up out of bed and ready to crawl back in it 15 minutes later. Since I am still nursing a toddler and pregnant, I have depended on one cup of coffee to start my mornings!
Kathy says
Your coming to the home stretch! Hang in there!
Dee @ Cocktails with Mom says
You are well on your way honey. Good wishes.
Beth Rees says
I can’t wait to see the stuff you got for baby #3!! I am living vicariously through your pink buys since I have two boys and are pregnant with #3 but aren’t finding out. It makes me want to find out now, but hubby says we should wait.. It is driving me nuts
Katie says
doing great! Here’s hoping the next 10 weeks go smoothly!
Shell Fruscione says
You still have plenty of time to choose a name, try not to stress over it!! 🙂 I’m sure whatever you choose will be perfect.
Kelly @ Texas Type A Mom says
Your belly is adorable and you look great!
Elizabeth Atwood says
Oh I remember that time well. I love when they really get moving. It's so much fun. Well, that is until the run out of room in there ;-).
debra pearlstein says
You look great. I bet you can’t wait!
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies says
You look so cute! Maybe you can poll your readers for a baby name. 😉
