29 weeks!

I am a couple of days late but here is what Baby Center said this week:
How your baby's growing:

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. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her 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.

My cravings: any kind of bread, bagels and cream cheese, ice cream, Mexican food, and sub sandwiches. Nothing new in this department. I will say the holidays are a very ideal time to be pregnant. Last year, I had a really time sticking to my diet. This year, I am enjoying myself!!!   A week ago, my belly measured 27 inches from top to bottom. I go again next week and will update you again then.

Love, Skylar
