Your baby is growing rapidly now. This week she weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is getting bigger to accommodate her 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.Current Craving: Chocolate, peanut butter, milk...basically anything NOT good for me!!!
Current Gripe: Feeling "squished," having very few clothes that "fit"
Current Joy: Knowing there's a beautiful baby living right within me and that I'm supplying everything she needs!!!
Current Weight Gain: 18 lbs. (they just keep "creeping on!")
