I've made it to 29-weeks - woohoo! Another 6-10 to go. This week the tiredness kicked back in in full force with one new (un)pleasantry - being winded, I am constantly trying to catch my breath from just sitting still.
Goodbye 2nd trimester, hello 3rd!
Had to get the cheesy shot - check out how veiny the hands are! Blood is a'flowin.
I don't know how much bigger this can get!
(Side-note: thank goodness for
Lululemon clothes! I am living in my workout tunics and Grove pants.)
Per
Baby Center, here's what's going on in there (BTW, I used to love butternut squash - this just ruined it for me for the next few months):
How 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.

Wow! Even looking at the photos, I still can't believe my best friend is having twin boys! You look fabulous, but I swear you have one of those balls from Target stuffed in there (like we did when we where kids!). You are going to be the same as Courtney - so tiny, but big tummy so people will look at you in stores thinking you're shop-lifting! Seriously.
I spelled 'were' wrong. It's late and I've had two glasses of Rose - sorry!
