Corn Cobs and Soccer Balls!

So today marks the 24 week mark - woohoo! (I told Nicholas this morning that it was our anniversary baby birthday week, b/c we got married on the 24th, but it took me quite a bit of explaining before he got it, haha.) Anywho, so according to Babycenter.com, baby boy is now the size of this:

And another fun/freaky fact, my uterus is now the size of THIS:

REALLY?!?!?!? Now that's just scary!

Here's this week's development according to the babycenter:
"Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's about 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."

So that's what our little buddy is up to this week! I took a fabulous bath tonight and noticed that for the first time I can actually see little movements popping out through my stomach!!! For now they're just tiny and I have to look for them when I feel him moving around, but I know that will change quickly! It's fun! And in other news, my SIL, Jennifer, finds out what she's having tomorrow morning!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited!!! Even though everyone thinks it's a girl, and she took an over the counter gender predictor that said girl (AND she has an overwhelmingly girl feeling), I'm still pumped to know for sure and to see the pics of her cute little face! I just know Jennifer will be updating her blog as soon as she finds out (right?)! :) hehe!

Work is kicking my bootie with an upcoming meeting that we have to prepare for, so I better go get some sleep while I can! Hope to see you later this week! xoxo!
