HEEHEE........I think our girl finally has a name!!! when I am 100% sure, I will post the news!!
What is the baby up to?? 24wks!
Your baby now weighs around 1.5 lbs (700g), and measures about 8.8 inches (22cm) from crown to rump, but this varies from baby to baby.
Your doctor should be able to hear your baby's heartbeat, using a stethoscope or Doppler ultrasound device. If your partner puts his ear right on your belly in the right position, he might even be able to hear it unaided if there is no background noise.
Your baby sleeps and wakes in a more regular pattern now. You may notice that your baby is particularly active when you are resting.
The center of your baby's bones are beginning to harden.
If your baby is a boy, the testes will start to descend into the scrotum now. If your baby is a girl, the vagina will begin to hollow out and mature now.
Your baby can make a fist now and may already have a preference for the right or left hand.
With modern medical technology, your baby would have a chance to survive if it were born now.

I changed my mind on the bedding! I love the babygap bedding but it was very expensive and being white, it would get pretty icky....fast!
I found this set on ebay (yeah, ebay!) and after 3 different tries, finally won it for a very low price!!! 9 pieces for less than the bumper alone on the babygap set!

Your baby is now about 8.4 inches from crown to rump (21cm) and weighs about 1.2 pounds (530g).
Your baby's face and body now look more like a full-term baby. She now looks close to how she will look at birth.
The eyes, though they are still closed, are now close together on the front of the face and the ears are in their final position. Eyelashes are fairly well-developed and hair is growing on your baby's head.
Your baby's movements are becoming more restricted now as she fills up the uterus more. Cartwheels and somersaults inside the amniotic sac are no longer possible, but she can still hold the umbilical cord and touch and feel around her. Though your baby is already living in tight quarters in the amniotic sac, she will soon have even less room to move around.
Her vital organs are now quite mature. However, since the lungs are not yet fully formed, your baby would have breathing problems if born prematurely at this stage.
Your baby is becoming increasingly conscious of the world outside and may feel startled when you are startled.
Your baby may alternate between having very active and very calm periods.
Your baby may have facial expressions such as frowning, squinting and pursing of the lips.

Our poor little princess has no name! We didn't discuss names until we knew her gender.....and now it has been pretty non-stop discussion around our house...yet she still has no name. We have several names that we like, but haven't decided on a name that fits our little princess. Of course, we have had tons of people ask about the names we are thinking about....but when we tell them, everyone has an opinion! UGH!! think we need to keep our ideas to ourselves....it can be quite hurtful when you tell someone a name and they say "that is a fat girls name" or "eww, i can't stand that name"...of course, it is not meant to be hurtful, but I had my heart set on a certain name and those are some of the responses I got. So I guess it will be awhile before you get to know the name....we wont "spill out" anymore ideas to people.....we will just decide on a name then announce it when we are really sure.
