{29 weeks}

I had my dr. appointment yesterday and the dr. says i'm measuring well, and the baby is right where he should be :) which definitely calms my nerves, it's always good to hear all is going well. I'm having such a hard time sleeping lately, but such is life, and i know it's only going to get worse before it gets better! 1 week away from my 10 week count down! keeps moving so quickly! can't believe we're going to have a baby around the house so soon! time to get ready i think! haha yay for shopping! can't wait!
Picture of your developing baby

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.
