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.
Week 24- All About Mama Smith
Baby Bump: Yep
Weight Gain: Holy weight gain! At my appointment last Friday I weighed 146. That is sadly only 4 pounds shy of my final weight of 150 with Carter. Either I'm ALL baby or I'm packing it on my backside and can't see things clearly. Can you say denial??
