Week 29, Baby Classes & Baby Fox's Room

How your baby's growing (from BabyCenter.com):
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 or her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his or her head is growing bigger to make room for his or her developing brain. To meet his or her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his or her 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.

Baby classes two and three were fun! We learned a lot, some topics we went over were newborn at birth, breast feeding, selecting a pediatrician, bathing your newborn, first physical exam, signs and symptoms of labor, what to do when it's time to go to the hospital, what to expect in labor and delivery and pain management - including epidural. Our final class is this Thursday.

Both my gestational glucose test and thyroid test came back normal. My iron levels were a little low so I'm trying to eat more green veggies. Still feeling great! :)

See pictures below of my big belly and baby Fox's room!


I feel HUGE!!!

Ok, here's a closer look by the window.

Brian and Lilly playing :P

Brian at work breaking down the old closet to add a new layout.

He's just about done!
We are heading to Home Depot in search of a new closet system.
