I know I'm turning into more of a sappy pregnant lady every week, but I'm really in awe after just reading how the baby is currently developing and I had to share! Here's what's written about week 29 (from my Baby Center newsletter):Your baby is growing rapidly now. This week he weighs about half a pound more than he did last week (about 2 1/2 pounds total) 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. With this rapid growth, it's no surprise that your baby's nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester. To keep yourself and your baby well nourished, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamin C, folic acid, iron, and calcium. (Every day, about 200 milligrams of calcium is deposited in your baby's skeleton, which is now hardening.)
Wowie!!

WOW is right Alli! It is truly a miracle to see what God is doing in you to create new life.
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week! You're in my prayers.
Sappy looks good on you - I am so excited for you every day!
hey, we just stumbled upon your site from the missionary-blogs feed. We loved the pregnancy ticker - we threw one up on our site as well. It's nice to read about other young couples starting "third-culture" families - keep up the posts!
