Week Twenty-Four
- Bring on the bulk! Baby gains about 6 ounces this week. The weight is in muscle, bone mass and organs.
- His body begins to fill out with his appearance increasingly becoming more like a newborn.
- Taste buds begin to form. If mom drinks something strange or bitter, baby may be observed showing his distaste.
- Little creases have appeared on his palms. The muscular coordination of his hands has improved as he sucks his thumb.
- Over the next seven days the sweat glands will be forming in the skin.
- His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance that helps the air sacs inflate easily.
- This week your baby is officially considered viable.
- Baby weighs 1.3 pound (600gm) and is 11.8 inches (30cm) long -- almost the length of a ruler!

You look great!
And, no, the trees in Nashville aren't changing yet...I think they are just dying, at least some of the newer ones in our neighborhood! The dying tree sure did make for a fun walking to the school bus shot though - since it did look a little fall-ish.
Y'all have a good weekend! Have I mentioned that I love Cash's name and I can't wait to see what you end up doing in his room with all the old album covers. Surely you have a Johnny Cash one??
