Facts:
As baby grows, conditions in the uterus become a little cramped, so there isn't quite as much room to kick those tiny legs or wave those teeny arms. Therefore, you may feel a little less movement now, but that's normal.
Your baby is growing rapidly now. This week he 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 getting bigger to accommodate his growing brain — which is busy developing billions of neurons. Every day, about 200 milligrams of calcium is deposited in your baby's skeleton, which is now hardening. With this rapid growth, it's no surprise that your baby's nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester.
I kinda started freaking alittle. I started making all kinds of lists. A list for all the 'have to haves' for the baby and me, packing lists for delivery, a list for things that need to get done (one for me and one for bob). One thing on that list that was at the top was finish my baby registery (which i'm getting farther on now).
One of the biggest things for me was that i wanted to get the house completely done. So we've spent the last few days trying to totally get the house tip top and we are almost there, just got some stuff in the bedroom to fix but that won't take long. We got the office totally done so i'm relieved! We got christmas plastic totes on sale at walmart to organize with, that was awesome (i don't care that there red! works the same!) Bob even let me set up the co-sleeper up next to the bed... he said it was a little reward for our hard work :) hehehe i can't wait till anna will be sleeping it in... and it's not that far away anymore!
