Maternity Monday, 24 weeks

How your baby's growing: 24 weeks

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 (about the size of a 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.

Symptoms:  I feel fat all the time! I think it is because I am stretching more with Logan then I did with Aiden. I'm not as moody as I used to be, and I don't get sick anymore woot woot to that!

Weight Gain: So I am now about 145. Before I was prego I was 150, I lost about 10lbs when I first got pregnant because I was so sick, but now I am starting to put it back on.
