I'm extremely happy that this week is over. I had a test for work on Friday and I was so stressed out about it! I hope that work doesn't completely ruin my holidays this year like it always seems to do :( Pregnancy wise I'm still in some pain and will probably be taking my Dr up on her offer of some physical therapy once the holidays are over. I have my first baby shower this weekend that I'm looking forward to!
29 week update - Squash!
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.
