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.
Looks like I will have to keep up the healthy eating, putting more of an emphasis on veggies and fruits. Milk has been no issue with me...I think I drink at least a gallon a week by myself.
I am really starting to feel pregnant...it is harder to get up and move around now. I have a feeling this will get worse over the next 11 weeks. WOW...only 11 weeks to go!
