We've reached V Day!

Also known as viability! I want him to stay in there for at least the next 14-16 weeks. I'm not quite ready for him to come out yet.

From one of my pregnancy website/emails that I get each week:

Your baby's the size of a cantaloupe!

At week 24, your baby's see-through skin is gradually becoming less translucent and is starting to look more opaque, like your own, but with the beauty of a new pink glow, thanks to the small capillaries that have recently formed. Plus, he's getting heavier and now weighs 12.7 to 20.8 ounces. He's 10.5- to 11.8 inches long now, too -- nearly an entire foot!

There's a lot happening inside baby as well, and while his lungs have developed, they couldn't work outside of the womb yet. But the fact that his lungs are fully formed means that he's closer to being ready to survive (and thrive!) in the outside world!

I think I'll continue posting these for the next few months. We'll see. Till next week.
