What a day! Today we reached the 29th week in our pregnancy and I had my first shower!
My mom talked to Matt's mom and they put together a little "Mother/Daughter Shower" for today-we met everyone in Longmont at the Egg & I and had a great time all together. It was nice to have all the women in the family all together. The only people we were missing were my sister Maegan and Matt's Aunt Nancy.
It was really nice and this little one got some super cute things-everyone spoiled us!
Our update this week:
"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."
I can't wait to hold your butternut squash! Looking forward to Spring Break! Love ya!
