Week 24!

How your baby's growing:

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.

How far along? 24 weeks (and 4 days)
Maternity clothes? Yes..especially maternity shirts now. My pre-pregnancy shirts are getting a little too tight.
Stretch marks? None
Sleep: No issues. I am actually sleeping pretty darn good.
Best moment this week: Baby Winter moving all around....Lots and I love it!!
Food cravings: None really.
Gender: This week I keep catching myself referring to Baby Winter as "him"
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? I think it will be flat in a few weeks.
What I miss: Nothing...I love being pregnant right now!
What I am looking forward to: Cleaning out guest room..still
Weekly Wisdom: Research, research baby things! Why can't I make my mind up!

Milestones: Happy V-day Baby Winter (which is officially 'viability day'. It really is nothing to get excited about but it's a milestone. If the child was born today, he/she would have a 44% chance of 'survival'. We'd like Baby Winter to stay put until 40 weeks!
