Spring has Sprung!

Well today is the first day of Spring... although it doesn't really feel like it. I am celebrating by bundling up in a winter coat and drinking hot tea with a spoonful of honey to fend off a cold. Yay!

At week 24 the baby is about the size of an ear of corn (measuring approx 12 inches long and weighs over 1 pound). White blood cells are beginning to develop. The lungs develop branches this week, and the inner ear is completely developed.

Couple of fun things to talk about this week...

Normally the baby will twist and turn around 2:00 in the afternoon and then a little before bedtime. It lasts for a few moments but nothing too wild and crazy. That was a different story on Saturday night! James and I attended the symphony to listen to Tchaikovsky "Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36". The baby jumped and danced to the classical music for a whole hour!

We are not going to find out whether we are having a boy or girl. But it's fun to hear people's predictions. I saw an old wives tale the other day. It said that if a woman is craving sweets during her pregnancy she is going to have a girl; if she is craving meats, she is going to have a boy. Well... I have been craving a lot of meat during this pregnancy. Maybe that's an indication that we are having a boy?!
