We made it to the big 3-0!! Weeks, that is

Today we are 30 weeks pregnant! We've been worried about whether we'd ever see this number in any pregnancy, and here we are! We had our 30 week ultrasound today, and everything was measured and scrutinized, and baby looks fabulous :) He is estimated to be 3 lbs, 6 oz which means he's growing steadily. If he keeps this up, when he comes around 37 weeks, he'll be over 6 pounds, a respectable newborn weight for 3 weeks early! Our NST went well today and although I'm still contracting, things seem to be holding up well. My cervix is a little shorter so they did another fFN test today to see if I'm at risk for pre-term labor. Fingers crossed its negative tomorrow! Here are his latest pictures...his hands were all over his face, so we only got two good pictures, but I'll take them!!

Here's his profile again

Here's more of a front shot, but because he was moving around, it's a bit stretched out looking, but his cheeks are coming in nicely, don't you think? And he almost looks like he's smiling :)

Hey guys! I am so excited for you! I looked at his picture and thought the same about his cheeks! Filling out wonderfully! And...it does look like he has a pleasant little smile on his face. Awwwww! It was funny to read and see that we see the same features. He looks like he is totally peaceful and not feeling the strain at all! Love you guys and miss you much!
