Today is a milestone because we hit 24 weeks of pregnancy. 24 weeks is the accepted "point of viability" of gestation where if the bab(ies) are born the doctors will do everything in their power to save their lives. At that age though it's pretty hit or miss and the survival chances aren't high but regardless, this is still a milestone!
Things are pretty good. Nothing really new to report - I'm feeling mostly good, just tired a lot still and somewhat stiff. Things like doing laundry are getting tougher and I get out of breath much easier than I used to but overall nothing much to complain about!
Maia's daycare is closed tomorrow so I'm staying home with her and we're going to take a jaunt down to Prior Lake to visit our friends Amanda and Jeremy and their new baby Jamey. It'll be a lot of fun I think! Their daughter Ivy is Maia's age so they always have a good time playing together.
According to babycenter.com, our babies are now about a foot long. Their brains are growing quickly and taste buds are developing. The lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory tree as well as cells that produce a substance that will help air sacs inflate once they hit the outside. Their skin is still thin and translucent but that will change soon.
Hi Becky, I'm so glad you've hit this milestone and that you're feeling mostly good. Enjoy your day with Maia tomorrow. Lucky - I wish I could spend the day with Julia.
I was relieved to hit 24 weeks, and I know that is true in spades for you. I am breathing a sigh of relief and am so thankful that you have made it this far with no sign that anything is changing for the worse.
