24 Weeks

The baby weighs more than 1.3 pounds now. Although there is still very little body fat, and the skin is thin and fragile, at least the baby is now well proportioned. The baby's brain is growing rapidly, and my uterus is beginning to fill up quickly! From head to bum, the baby can measure up to 11.8 inches.

At this point in the pregnancy, it's normal to see stretch marks on your body - about 90 percet of women get them. There may also be a dark line forming from the top of your abdomen, down past your belly button. This called the linea negra.

So, we're in Florida for the break between Christmas and new years - heading home in a couple days - had a blast in Disney. It was hard, looking at all the baby things they had in the Disney souvenir shops, and not buying anything! There were so many beautiful baby princess outfits, and cute little onesies - but since we don't know if it's a girl (although, I feel that it is) we held off.

We're off to Universal Studios today, and the sun is shining!

Talk more when we get back!
