29 WEEKS!
I can't believe it. 11 weeks to go. It's getting closer... We got to get the nursery done or at least started! We haven't finalized the paint color yet - I already have an idea what to do, just need to get the paint from the store, and get the chair-rail or wallpaper border. And we need to get the closet system for the nursery too and install it soon. I wonder if it's better to have HomeDepot install it or if Keith will install it either this long weekend or other weekend within the month of June, (he'll most likely cuss and curse while doing it hehehe
)
This is borrowed from www.babycenter.com:
How your baby's growing: Your 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 accommodate his brain — which is busy developing billions of neurons. With this rapid growth, it's no surprise that your baby's nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester. To keep yourself and him well nourished, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamin C, folic acid, iron, and calcium. (About 200 milligrams of calcium is deposited in your baby's skeleton — which is now hardening — every day.)
I need to eat more protein to "feed" his growing brain! I've been eating bad for the past four days, I have to go to the grocery today to get supplies. I think I'm back to the first trimester mood - always exhausted, so I just want to lay down and rest a lot. And that is also why I haven't been preparing better food (excuses, excuses... ;oD)
