Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 29 weeks
What’s developing: Ella Kate is supposed to be weighing about 2.5 pounds this week (like a butternut squash) and is a bit over 15 inches from the top of her head to her heels. We did find out on Wednesday that she is at the 67th percentile for her growth and is weighing approximately 3lbs 4oz.
Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. Her bones are soaking up lots of calcium. During this trimester about 250mg of calcium are deposited in her hardening skeleton each day.
Clothes: Maternity jeans/capris/shorts and maternity tops. Still in my regular scrubs pants (moved up one size), but all wearing maternity tops.
Gender: It's a GIRL!!!
Movement: She's an active little thing, she continues to move all the time! :-)
Sleep: Waking up about twice per night to use the bathroom.
What I miss: Jersey Mikes subs
Cravings: Chocolate milk again (guess all this milk is paying off for her bones and increase calcium need).
Symptoms: Still having heartburn, but is usually relieved by Tums.
Best Moment this week: We had our 4-D ultrasound on Wednesday and that was simply AMAZING. She is still breech and the first image we saw of Ella was her legs and arms in front of her face, yep that's right... all 4 extremities. She finally cooperated and we were able to see her and all her little facial features... especially those chubby cheeks!!!

Coming up this week: I am super excited because we have 2 showers coming up this weekend... Saturday, my family is hosting one and on Sunday, Mike's family is hosting one. We are very blessed to have such great family and friends.
