So last Thursday I started getting a sore throat...which got progressively worse until Saturday. I never had any fever or any other symptoms, so I decided to go get a strep test to be safe. The test came back negative, but they sent a throat culture off to a lab to run the test again to be sure. Sure enough, yesterday I got a phone call saying that I indeed did have strep throat. :( So, I left work early yesterday and took the day off today....and after being on antibiotics for 24 hours, I am no longer contagious! Woo Hoo! Luckily, I was able to be productive during my time at home bcause I feel fine...no sore throat or anything anymore. Stinkin' pregnancy immune system. This is the first official sick day I have taken in my three years as a teacher. I guess it had to come at some point. :)
And now....your week 30 update!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 30: fetus in the seventh month: The light is visible at the end of the tunnel! Your oversized self and amazing growing baby have finally reached the single digits (in terms of weeks till birth)! The fine lanugo hair that has been growing all over their little monkey-like body is going to start falling off this week in preparation for the big day. But don’t be shocked if they’re hairier than you’d anticipated, some babies keep their lanugo until after birth. Still, it’s not any cause to be concerned as it will fall off eventually. No surprises here: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs this week thanks to the ever-growing layers of subcutaneous fat. In terms of numbers, your baby should be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and be nearly 16 inches long.
I have my first baby shower this weekend, so another update and pictures soon to come! :)
