24 Weeks!

How your baby's growing:

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.

Yep, we're at 24 weeks!! just 16 to go :) That's weird to think about considering how quickly this first part has gone, in spite of being sick. I have gone about a week with out throwing up, which is an accomplishment. I still have bouts of queasiness every day, but they seem to be remedied by eating a little something. Other than cankles (the lack of an ankle due to swelling) and some lower back pain, Baby Girl and I are doing fantastic! In fact, Jason finally got to feel her kick two nights ago!

We were in Louisville this past weekend for New Attitude and then today we are heading to Virginia for a quick weekend trip! Busy, busy!

Hope you all are well and resting in God's amazing Grace!!!
