29 Weeks!

I am now 29 weeks pregnant and what a bumpy week I have had. I am still trying to understand this whole asthma thing and its painful effects on my body, along with waiting for my body to catch up on Iron so that I can start feel a little more with it. Hopefully since these "issues" have been identified it will just be a couple more weeks till I am in the right place. While I am suffering my little man has been growing and moving just as much as before. No matter how much pain I am in, close to tears, or maybe in tears, breathing like I ran a marathon, or unable to find the energy to get out of bed- when he moves or more likely kicks so hard that my stomach pops up I can't help but feel so much better and just smile. He knows just when to remind me what all this is stuff I am going through is for.

Well what is going on with this great little boy? This month he is now the size of a squash (15.2 -16.7 inches and 2.5 - 3.8 lbs). This week baby is around 2 1/2 pounds and a little over 15 inches long from head to heel. His lungs and muscles are continuing to mature and his head is growing bigger to give room for his developing brain. During this trimester his bones are continuing to harden and there are 250 milligrams of calcium deposited into those bones every day. Time to start drinking that milk.. chocolate milk? This month the formation of white fat deposits are giving him an extra boost of energy, which has to do with all his movement. He has now reached the point that all five of his senses are functional and his brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

Yesterday I got my changing table in the mail- now I have stuff but nothing is put together. Which will just have to wait till I can talk someone into moving that stuff downstairs and setting it up for me. Nothing is worse than having to wait and knowing you have to inconvenience someone! Blah! Soon Soon... there is now a time line. Must be done by the shower at the beginning of November!

Time to get ready for work! Just training, I am not interested in running around and playing restaurant anymore!
