My doctors appointment on Wednesday was great - baby and me are growing steadily - and I passed my glucose test with flying colors. Excellent news since I did NOT want to drink that sugary drink again.... BLAH! In any case - I had a great 29th birthday, thank you to everyone that set me well wishes...it is the last one I celebrate without the little one!!! As you can see - a new bump picture, as promised, is posted. Enjoy!
Love,
Amanda and Jeff
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. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her 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.
