Today we are 24 weeks along!!
Bean is starting to pack on the weight and has gained about 4oz since last week. She's now about a foot long (think corn-on-the-cob) and weighs between 1 and 1.5 pounds. She has more muscle tone now and her lungs are now fully formed, but not quite ready to function on their own. Her brain is continuing to grow, she's filling out proportionally (with all that baby fat we'll love when she gets here), and her taste buds are continuing to develop. She can taste what I'm eating, and will have preferences for those foods when she arrives.
