Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (about the size of a butternut squash)
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 make
room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional
demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and
iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to
drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium,
such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester,
about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening
skeleton each day.
