Well we are at 24 weeks (6 months) and everything appears to be moving right along. Doctor says she is doing fine even though I am not feeling her move alot yet. He says the placenta is in front and blocking me from alot of her movement now but that as she gets bigger I will get more of the kicks.
How do you know that you are for sure pregnant? Well, today it was when I went to the restroom for the first of many trips only to have the zipper on my pants to break. So I have been walking around today with a safety pin keeping them closed. I have officially joined the ranks of the pregnant who do not want to get new clothes. I think I am going to have to break down and buy some new things.
Here is what is happening with Erynn this week:
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, 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.
