Sea Monkey: approximately 15.7 inches, 3 pounds. His/her eyesight is 20/400, which means s/he can only see a few inches in front of his/her face. Currently surrounded by a pint and a half of amniotic fluid, which is supposed to decrease as s/he gets bigger. The majority of the next 10 weeks is going to be spent packing on weight and only getting a little longer.
I: am very tired. Very... very tired. I slept for 10 1/2 hours last night (with 2 bathroom breaks and a brief period of not sleeping because my hip was hurting), and I'm quite ready for a nap already.
Babycenter warns that around this time mood swings may pick back up. I laughed at this, because I don't think my mood swings ever slowed down.
Bending over is now an experience I dread. It's ridiculous (and kind of hilarious). When Zach and I go somewhere in the car, I usually put my purse by my feet....but now I've discovered it is not at all pleasant trying to bend over to pick it up when we get to wherever we're going. And it's worse when it's hot. It's ok, though, it won't be for long, and it's definitely worth it. Sometimes when I drop things, I just glare at it, willing it to hop back into my hand, because I really don't want to bend over to get it. So far, my mind powers are seriously failing me (I'd make a terrible Jedi =( ).
Also, it's almost July. Can you believe it?
Time seems to be rocketing forward and at the same time slooooooooowly dwindling by. This past week seems like it took forever (which I think was mainly due to our air conditioner breaking RIGHT when the weather decides to happily stay around 100 and be nice and humid), but now that I'm officially 30 weeks, it's surprising to me.
I'll be very excited if the next 3 weeks fly by, though... Zach's parents are coming out from California for a visit/for the baby shower (see here), and I'm very excited about this. =) And then we've only got 6 or so weeks (after the shower) until we might expect Sea Monkey to arrive.
At childbirth class last week, we talked about all the things that could possibly go wrong during labor and what the midwives will do about them. It was a very "fun" class. I already knew about all the complications and things, but it was good to hear Val's reassurance about how they handle those things.
Also, I found out I have an increased chance of having a fast labor because my mom had fast labors with my brother, sister, and me (apparently there's a part of the labor length factor that's genetic). I'm not counting on having a 3-4 hour labor, though, but it is a possibility.
I have an appointment on Tuesday already. I like bi-weekly appointments. =) Soon it'll be weekly appointments and soon after that, it'll be time to meet Sea Monkey. 70 days until the due date, plus or minus however many until Sea Monkey is ready.
This sounds random, but I'm thinking about food right now.... But my favorite foods so far this pregnancy are:
1. Ice cream
2. Zucchini
3. Cereal (chex is my favorite)
That's all. =)

Haha! I totally did that. If someone was around, they would usually pick it up for me. Occasionally, if I was home alone, I just left it if I didn't really need it, until Jeff came back and then I had him pick it up for me!
