29 weeks

I haven't been on here to update. ugh! I've been so busy with work and trying to get things ready for my baby shower.

Anyhoo, this is my 29 week update (only a week late.. lol).. Didn't know I could back-date the post for the 12th. Cool ;)

According to babycenter.com:
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (about the size of 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.

Baby is the size of an acorn squash (per TheBump.com)
