This is day number 209 and I'm 30 weeks pregnant!
I have 71 days or 10 weeks left, and I am 75.0% of the way there!!!

Norah now weighs around 3 pounds and is about 17 inches from head to toe. How she fits - I have no idea! Her eyes open and close, she's able to distinguish between light and dark, and she can even follow a light source back and forth. Once 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 a visual acuity of only 20/400 — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. ("Normal" vision in adults is 20/20.) Now all she has left is to develop those lungs and get fat!

Seth's family just left Florida yesterday. The were able to spend 5 days with us! It was our last time with them until we have little Norah. They brought down the crib, changing table and bassinet. The crib and changing table were actually built by Seth's Dad for when Gabriel was born. They are absolutely beautiful and still in great condition. I have attached pictures. They even went out and bought a chair for the room (also seen in the pictures). I set up all of Norah's bedding (Mom, I LOVE it!). The room looks so adorable - I am ready for her to come!

I have been feeling great - everything is going well. When she moves you can really see my belly doing a dance! It is a lot of fun to watch. I am in the home stretch now! I go to the Doctor's every 2 weeks. The pace is picking up. =)

Thanks so much for all of your prayers during this time. They have meant a lot. It has been such a blessing to have such a healthy pregnancy.
I love you all very much!
Tracy (and little Norah)

**The baby shower is in the process of being planned. Mark your calendars for May 19th @ 11am. Invitations should be arriving shortly (Thanks Mandy!) =)
