Baby and I are extremely thankful to be working from home. I really do not know how I would be able to function at this point if I had to add 2.5 to 3 hours onto my day for just getting ready in the morning and travel time. Honestly it is more than that because I had gotten into the habit of waking up 45 minutes early to sit in the bed while eating my breakfast and drinking my one cup of coffee attempting to wake up. Only after that 45 minutes or more would I get up and start my getting ready routine.
Now that I get up at 15 minutes to 8:00 and walk into my “office” at 8:00 I am much more rested and I enjoying working at this point. When your job is just about job and not about other people and office politics and/or drama it is extremely peaceful. I am very thankful for this blessing!
Other than work I am up for doing more at night, as in grocery shopping, cooking, a load of laundry here and there, but that is about it. I am not done with my Christmas Shopping, but it will happen. I have not wrapped anything, let alone send gifts out in the mall. I am not worrying about it, it will all get done at some point.
Baby is the size of a butternut squash. Your baby is as big as a butternut squash, weightwise — about 2 1/2 pounds. (Length: a tad over 15 inches, head to heel.)
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like 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.
