How far along: 24 weeks and 3 days
Size of Babies: Around 1 pound 8 ounces
Weight Gain: 140! I'm way behind on weight gain... So I definitely need to eat more!
Clothing: Pajamas!
Gender: Ninja Girls
Movement: They are crazy! Used to be mostly at night but now they move all day long too. I have just started to get kicked in the ribs! I can see them moving from the outside now.
Sleep: Okay, It's hard to turn over. And I have indigestion :(
Symptoms: Some pains when I move.
Morning sickness: None at all! But when they kick my stomach I feel sick!
What I miss: Getting to go places, bed rest stinks!
Cravings: Chocolate milk and lots of water
Best moment this week: Today, I can't say why but I just love today in particular :) I am so blessed!
What am I looking forward to: Seeing the babies again this Tuesday and Thursday! At 24 weeks I become viable, meaning if I have the babies they can survive outside the womb. My goal is 32 weeks!
How is Tristan: The best he has been in a long time! I love that man!
This Week in my Belly:
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.
