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.from (http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-29-weeks_1118.bc)
Baby Sister is still really active - I thought I might get ripped in half last night with all the activities she was preforming. I hope this isn't a sign that she will have major day/night mix ups when she is born.
