●嘿！孕期居然邁向了三字頭了，我這個孕婦真是一則以喜，一則以懼啊。邁向了三字頭，代表了懷孕後期，代表著肚子會大很快，代表著孩子即將在兩個月後來到這世間。唔，可是我這準媽媽好像還沒做好當媽媽的心理準備，該糟的，我們這對懶散夫妻，什麼嬰兒用品都還沒添購！整天只會叫叫叫的，真是行動力不足。

12月24日聽說是溫馨的耶誕佳節，不過因適逢週日，又到了我產檢的大日子。這次的產檢，也只是去給醫生看看的例行檢查，聽聽胎心音『咚─咚─咚─』強而有力跳著，又量量我的子宮底高度，壓壓腿看有無水腫，沒什麼大不了的事。

說沒什麼大不了，不過這次徐醫師幽默起來：『唔，有沒有去見營養師啊？』

我苦笑答：「有啊，有啊！」

他又笑著說：『很餓喔？！很餓喔！？』

我真想回答他：「嗚，真不如死啊！」不過還是很鎮定說：「還好啦，我很克制耶，你看，體重都掉了快兩公斤！」

他又笑著說：『這是正常的！都這樣，血糖正常就表示妳很有毅力，控制得很好！』

我和詹姆士苦笑著問：「那這樣小孩夠大嗎？這樣營養夠嗎？大家都說我的肚子小得嚇人，一點都不像懷孕七八個月耶！」

醫生還是笑著回答：『不會啊，正常正常，別擔心！』我又叫著：『醫生，那我可以吃大餐了嗎？』

醫生居然會點頭同意說：「好啊好啊，可以可以，今天是耶誕夜，要吃大餐囉！」

於是我和詹姆士就手牽手快樂地離開了醫院，結束此次的產檢。等著兩週後超音波檢查，到時又可跟游道東見面了，真是太期待了。

Week Thirty

·Did you know your baby is nearly three pounds now?

·His head is getting larger to accommodate a period of rapid brain growth. Don’t forget to continue to "teach" your baby in the womb by exposing to music, literature, and simply talking to him.

·A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him. As he grows and fills your uterus, the amount of amniotic fluid will decrease. Funny, you certainly won’t feel any lighter!

·She spends more and more time practicing opening and closing eyelids. Her eyes can move from side to side, following a light source. She may even reach out to touch the light.

·Early lanugo is beginning to disappear that served to protect your baby’s skin from the water in the womb. Your little one’s own hair may begin to appear.

·Toenails are entering their final growth stage.

·Bone marrow is now in charge of red blood cell production. These red blood cells will continue to service your child’s body by transporting oxygen and removing the wastes (carbon monoxide and other gases).

·Your baby has the capability now to produce tears -- yes, within the womb.

·By the end of this week, your baby is now 15.7 inches (39.9cm) long and weighs 2.91 pounds (1319gm).
