29 Weeks!

Dani is growing rapidly now. This week she weighs about half a pound more than she did last week (about 2 1/2 pounds total) 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 Dani's skeleton, which is now hardening. With this rapid growth, it's no surprise that Dani's nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester (lots of cravings!)

Hi,
Didn't think of doing a blog with my pregnancy... had other issues at hand (check out: www.girlfromafrica.blogspot.com) but I must say that finding your blog is my gift for the day, at least I now have some consolation that I am not craving, growing big, having heart burns, anxious alone... I am now 22 weeks.
Keep the blog going, I think I will just stick to the African Girl one for now.
Congrats
