30 weeks

This has been a great week (counting from last weekend to this weekend)! We had our maternity pictures taken Saturday, painted the room Sunday, set up the crib Monday, moved the dresser/changing table into the nursery on Wednesday...and set up the room the following days! Phew- it's been a busy week, and I've loved every second of it! (Check out pictures from a few days ago). It took us a while to get the ball rolling, but after the room got painted, everything really just fell into place!

I'm feeling her ALL the time, and I love it! I can tell more now than before body parts that she's poking me with, and it's really neat! Sleeping has become more difficult, but I'm really blessed to have the summer off so I can take a nap during the day if I need to.

Here is what BabyCenter.com has to say about Avery's development...

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.
