24 weeks

We are now 24 weeks and 3 days. I am feeling Baby K moving more frequently now. We use a fetal doppler to listen to the baby's heart beat and movements about once a week. Supposedly, our baby's nose, mouth, and chin are distinct now and eyebrows are now visible. Our baby's bones are growing harder and stronger because they are storing calcium now (maybe that is why I am craving milk...chocolate milk...every day???!!!). When I push on my abdomen, I get a response from Baby K nine times out of ten. Loud noises are beginning to cause a stir in the belly too! Our baby's lungs are getting stronger every day preparing for his/her first breath. Within the next few weeks, our baby will be estimated at 10 inches in length and one and a half pounds in weight per the baby magazines. Isn't that amazing?? The next 3 months will allow the baby to put on more weight and have lung maturity. I am feeling well except for a return of fatigue due to restless nights with increasing heartburn and low back pain. Our next appointment will be on July 8...stay tuned!
