In the middle of all of this pain and grieving the new life inside of me continues to grow. Evan is a comfort as I lay down at night, it's his most active time of the day.
29 weeks today.
How your baby's growing Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to accommodate his 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 him well nourished, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamin C, folic acid, iron, and calcium. (About 200 milligrams of calcium is deposited in your baby's skeleton — which is now hardening — every day.)
Praying specifically for Mark's mom this morning. I can't imagine the pain of watching your son die. May she find comfort in the miracle of Micah today.
Know that our little community is praying for Amy and Micah and all of you. Crying as we hope, clinging to our faith right beside you.
