Sorry there is no picture this week. Maybe I’ll get one this weekend. Doubtful, but maybe.
You can also check out the similarities/differences from 24 weeks with Baby #1.
How far along? 24 weeks

Weekly Wisdom: If you couldn’t eat cereal in the morning yesterday, or the day before, or last week, or the week before, there’s a pretty good chance it’s not going to end well to try to eat it the next morning.
Baby’s Development:
“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.” -babycenter.com
