LBN 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 make room for his developing brain. This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in LBN's hardening skeleton each day.
How is mom? Well, I was keeled over in pain last week - sharp, sharp pains - I learned they were called Round Ligament Pains ... meaning the ligaments around my uterus were stretching and growing. Bryan even noted that in one day, he noticed a size difference in my stomach. Sure enough, the doctor today said my stomach had grown 4 centimeters since my last visit (2 weeks). With that, my clothes even fit tighter in just that short period of time. My feet now swell, I am out of breath and I tire easily. I'm not so much a fun shopping partner anymore.
Hooray for the 3rd trimester!
