no, not racquetball...the other one

If Prof. Goldblatt is about the size of a butternut squash then it must be Week 29.

Yes, according to our trusty source, the good Professor is weighing in around 2.5 lbs and is just over 15 inches from head to heel, or, about the size of the aforementioned butternut squash. Her muscles and lungs are getting stronger (in anticipation of gross amounts of kicking and screaming), and her head is expanding in order to accommodate her ridiculously powerful brain. Apparently, billions of neurons are developing in Goldblatt's cranium, as she ponders the mysteries of the universe (and wonders why Overboard went for the spicy chili at lunch).

Prof. Goldblatt is also stockpiling calcium, as around 200 milligrams of the stuff is deposited into her skeleton each day. This means that her bones are hardening, and if she's really a Rolnick, developing pointy elbows for jabbing into people's ribs to illustrate the hilarity of the joke she just told.

Due to all of this growth activity, Goldblatt's nutritional needs reach their peak during this trimester. It is here that we should all pause and take a moment to be thankful that Overboard is the one carrying the child, and not me. Because unless Chipotle burritos count as a nutritious meal, this kid would be screwed.

Finally, in Overboard news...she's still doing pretty well and commenting more and more about Goldblatt's movements. Often, this involves grabbing my hand (and occassionally Kenny's) and placing it on her belly and demanding/asking, "Did you feel that? No? What about now?"
