29 Weeks!

Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
We are doing well. I have been on spring break this week, and it has been nice visiting with friends. Brooke, Ella, and Brittany came to visit the other day and got to see his nursery. Ella got to play with some of his toys, and it was neat seeing a baby in there! I can't wait till we have him to add to the nursery! I am growing more and more and it seems like time is going pretty fast now...I just can't wait to meet him!
