29 Weeks 0 Days

How our baby Walker J. is growing:




Our 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.

Boy, it seems like as soon as I hit the 3rd trimester the tiredness just hit me again like a brick wall. We finally started his room. We have it cleaned up. Now time to get all the big things moved out, Walls washed, and painted.

Walker is still active as ever. I still have heartburn several times a day! I think it is just getting worse by the day! Restless leg is starting to come back. JOY. I have a feeling it is going to be a a LONG 10 weeks to come!.. Yes ONLY 10 weeks!!!!
