Baby Chimeziri now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, I'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, I'll be sure to drink my milk (or find another good source of calcium as my new meal plan allows). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in her hardening skeleton each day.
See what Baby Chimeziri looks like this week.
