Well we are at 29 weeks today and glad just to feel like moving around. For most of the weekend I had absolutely no energy. We got the baby crib but have not put it together yet. Scott and I are not the best at doing that kind of thing together so it will be an adventure when we get started. Had my dentist appointment yesterday. Those of you who know me pretty well know that the dentist is difficult for me but my hygenist was great and amazingly I had no cavities. Everything I had read said that the baby will take alot of calcium out of your teeth and you could have problems. My hygenist said that I looked really good considering I am pregnant! Yeah! Next year we get to have some major dental work done (so am not looking forward to it.)
Here is what is going on with Erynn this week:
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds 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 accommodate her brain — which is busy developing billions of neurons. With this rapid growth, it's no surprise that your baby's nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester. To keep yourself and her well nourished, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamin C, folic acid, iron, and calcium. (About 200 milligrams of calcium is deposited in your baby's skeleton — which is now hardening — every day.)
