29 Weeks!!!

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. 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.

The nurse took three hours to get back to me yesterday and when she did it was as if she were reading off the information as fast as possible. I'm not thrilled with her but that happens I guess. For every great nurse there's bound to be at least one that you don't like. Hopefully I won't have to deal with her anytime soon. She didn't even hardly give me any chance to explain my concerns or questions. Sometimes it annoys me when those nurses work so hard at trying to explain why they don't need to see you that they forget to talk to the patient/patient's mother about why they called in the first place. Really... I wasn't wanting to spend the rest of my afternoon up there either. It just would have been nice if you could have talked to me about this since I've never experienced it before.

The babies were moving and grooving though last night! Felt like they were tap dancing in my stomach, or kick boxing. It was a really odd feeling. They are getting stronger and stronger it seems! I'm going to try and work on my diet a little more and see if that helps. The fact that I'm having leg cramps and then these dips in blood sugar makes me wonder if something is a little off in what I'm eating. In fact my morning nausea has returned too... not as bad as it was in the first trimester but still obnoxious. I had oatmeal and a banana this morning.... 15 minuets ago... and I'm hungry again.

Well Abby is on a rampage, I'm not sure why she is so upset but time to go see what she's up to. Have a great day :)
