Wow - that is hard to believe! We had a pretty good weekend this weekend. I was able to pick up the baby bedding on Thursday and it is sooooo cute!! So yesterday I finally picked out what color I want to do her room (thanks Mandy for the help)! And Jeff and I put together her crib! Yay! We have something in the room now! Hopefully this week I will get some painting done before we leave for Colorado! Here is the weekly update - even though our little one is bigger than it says! :)
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, vitamin 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.
