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.
Well, that's the truth. Even I'm feeling him on a daily basis now as he kicks and moves around... especially in the morning. He doesn't appear to have much patience when it comes to getting fed.
Hmmm, I wonder where he gets that from.
Sorry, no familiar weight equivalent for you guys today... it's either cuz I'm lazing or can't find anything - I can't tell.
have a great weekend! - JP
Well...technically we are just starting week 31. Sorry that we've been a little bit behind on the Pod Pics and updates. :S
