It seems crazy that we are only a few weeks from delivery. A friend of Kristina's who had twins last year reminded us that she had already delivered by this point. Of course, hers spent some time in the NICU because they were so early, which we'd prefer to avoid, but Bennett and Grayson will come early if they choose to do so.
This might be more accurate than we can really guess. There have been a few physical signs that Kristina's body is ready to release them. We are meeting with the doctor this week to discuss things, but most likely this will be the last week she spends at work...so things are about to quit being surreal and become very real very soon.
Just to clarify, because what I said was deliberately vague, there is nothing wrong or any indication of something that worries us. Also, since Bennett kicked me in the face through her abdomen tonight, I can assure you the boys are healthy and strong.
And Kristina is an amazing trooper. She made it almost three hours at the State Fair. She also allowed a few vendors to go into early retirement because Fair food and pregnancy is obviously a win-win scenario!
Okay, so this is BabyCenter.com's developmental summary for the typical 30th week of gestation. Also, the boys were at 3 pounds about 10 days ago. We are guessing they're each over 3½ by now, we but will confirm that later this week.
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now and weighs almost 3 pounds (about the size of a large cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will shrink as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
