• What is the baby up to? Baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds 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. Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. ( kicks and jabs to my ribs is what he has going on) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.
To meet his increasing nutritional demands, I need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, I am drinking lots of milk, enriched orange juice and eating cheese, yogurt (all sources of calcium). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in my baby's hardening skeleton each day. My baby is the size and weight of a squash...
