29 weeks

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. (My camera died so no belly pic today).


After the events that played out yesterday I completely forgot to do my 29 week post. I had a long day at work and then as I was leaving the parking lot realized that I had a flat tire. That was an experience! Thankfully I had a co-worker graciously stop and help me by doing everything for me!!! I thanked him a million times as he was doing it too. So I had a slow drive to get Katelyn who had a good day at Cathy's. Once at home Grandma D stopped by and gave Katelyn and Mitch some new clothes. We are very grateful and loved them. After she left the rain came. And the lightning and thunder. Boy was it loud! Thankfully Katelyn isn't afraid of it. After she was in bed our power went out and was so for about an hour and a half. So our house was lit up with candles for awhile! It was actually kind of nice, candles and quiet.

Today Kevin, Hillary and the fun Jack are coming to town to play and Katelyn is super excited, as usual to play with Jack. The two of them together are so great to watch. It makes me impatient for Mitch, but I know I can wait.
