Lil Tumbler

29 Weeks!!!

I am 29 weeks along today. I am feeling pretty good, just tired and hungry :) I have been trying new recipes and cooking yummy food, according to Ben. Connor is definitely a lil tumbler in my belly. He punches and kicks occasionally, but lately he likes to do somersaults and move from side to side and up and down. Ben and I will lay here and watch my belly move all kids of weird ways. He is getting so much stronger, but I love it! Here is what Babycenter says about the growth this week. 


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.
