How your baby's growing: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.
For me:
I had my 29 week appointment today, it went great. Campbell is measuring right on track for now, which is great! I was also told that I do not have gestational diabetes (I had the 3 hour test earlier this week because I failed the 1 hour test) - very good news!
I also had a couple of maternity pictures taken, they were indoors, just me - Nick will be in the outdoor ones (which were rescheduled for next weekend because of a major snow storm we're getting this weekend). I'm anxious to see them, I'm sure they're better than the ones I post here! I'm not super excited that many of them are bare belly (I don't think my bare belly is cute) but I wanted them done to document the time and how I looked.
