24 weeks - 6 months already!

Time sure has flown by! It feels like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant. Ive taken another belly shot for those who have requested ;-P Its getting there, still dont have that round look, but thats ok. Went to the doc this week for a check-up, everything is good. Im up 8 pounds, which brings my total gain in this pregnancy to.......8 pounds! Thats right, I had not gained any weight until just recently...lol

Here is whats going on in week 24 with me and the baby:
How your baby's growing:
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
In the past few weeks, the top of your uterus has risen above your belly button and is now about the size of a soccer ball.
