24 weeks

Week 24: Your baby's growing steadily, gaining about a quarter of a pound since last week, when she was just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), that makes a pretty lean figure, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon put on more baby fat. Your baby's skin is thin, translucent, and wrinkled, her brain is growing rapidly, and her taste buds are developing. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance **that helps the air sacs inflate easily.

6 months! I am feeling great for the most part.. only complaint is the pains I get in my hip, and the tiredness. It is all manageable! At this point with Ben, I had major heartburn all the time, and swollen feet (thanks to the warm weather!). Now I think I am going to have a hard time trying to keep my belly covered as I outgrow my winter coat! Ben has his first stomach flu right now, and I hoping the vomiting stops, as it sure triggers my gag reflex! Ick! He was at his grandparents for the past 4 days, and I think the baby sure noticed when he was home!! He was sitting on my lap, we were chatting, and the movements were incredible! A great feeling!

If all goes well I will get another belly pic soon.. it grows more and more each day!
