How big is Maddox? - 29 weeks

Today marks 29 weeks for us, which means only 11 weeks until our due date and 8 weeks until we are officially full term...it's hard to believe!! We are starting to accumulate more and more baby stuff and I know when we have our shower in 2 weeks we will have a whole lot more stuff!! Maddox is continuing to grow so let's see how big he is this week...


He is about as big as a butternut squash, weightwise, about 2 1/2 pounds and lengthwise, a tad over 15 inches, head to heel. Baby's energy is surging, thanks to white fat depositing beneath his skin. And since he's growing so fast (weight will triple by birth), things are getting kind of cramped in the womb. What all this means for you: Get ready for some more kicks and jabs to the ribs.
