Man these 24 weeks have flown by! This baby actually seems like more of a reality now than in the beginning. I guess because I've had to make final decisions about everything vs just being able to dream about it! And the fact that s/he moves ALL the time! Sweet Pea definitely lets me know that s/he is really real! I'm so ready for July to get here...but I know the time will continue to fly by and before I know it, I'll be the mother of a teenager...yikes! =)
How your baby's growing: (from babycenter.com)
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
