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.
I had a doctor appointment today, it went very well. Heartbeat was about 140 and the doctor says my belly size and weight gain are very good right now. My next appointment is in mid September, then I start going every two weeks. We also get to tour the hospital birthing centerin late September and I'm looking forward to that.
Not much happened this week. Baby is still kicking away (except when someone wants to feel, then he/she is very shy and still). I did get to hang out with my best friends last night as they started to plan my first baby shower! I am very much so looking forward to that.
Today Alex and I are going to make a baby registry. (this time it's for real!) We are going to register at Babies R Us and Target. I have my registry list all ready to go, all we have to do is get the gun and go shopping. I'm super excited to look at all the cool baby gadgets and stuff that I don't really need but I'll put on there anyway :P
I think that's all for today, thanks for reading and God Bless!
