24 weeks

This is what happens when Joe works nights, I have to take a picture off the mirror! Notice the sun coming through the window (and Subie wondering what I'm doing)---loving this weather!

24 Weeks
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long, 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.

I know you don't think this, but you look truly amazing. That wee tummy is itty bitty, despite what you think. I am that big at like 18 weeks.
