Pregnancy Highlights

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 24 weeks!

Size of baby: 

***A couple of weeks ago, I put the wrong picture up for this. Sorry for the confusion. It's fixed now.***

your baby's the size of a cantaloupe!

Your 10.5-to-11.8-inch fetus weighs about 12.7 to 20.8 ounces and every week he gets closer and closer to being ready to survive (and thrive!) in the outside world.

Baby Development This Week: 

·         His see-through skin is gradually becoming more opaque.

·         And it's got a new pink glow, thanks to the small capillaries that have recently formed.

Maternity Clothes: Still in regular clothes and using belly band for jeans. ( I still haven’t hit up the maternity section, need to do that soon!)

Gender: IT’S A BOY! John Declan Leviner! He will be called Declan. Declan is of Irish origin and means full of goodness. J

Movement: He is becoming more and more active as the days go by!

Sleep: Not good.

What I miss: I miss back pain free days and not feeling huge.

                                            

Cravings: Mostly salty foods.

Symptoms: backaches, some fatigue, increased appetite

Best Moment this week: John interacting more with Declan and thinking about my first upcoming baby shower.
