24 Weeks

We have viability! Although we certainly don't want her coming out any time soon, she now has a chance of survival outside the womb. So while we hope she stays in there for a while longer it is nice to know she'd have a shot if she decided to come early. She is now gaining about 4-6 ounces a week and weighs about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 pounds. Her lungs are now developed enough to give her a chance of survival in a NICU. She is also starting to develop white blood cells which will help to fight infection.

Here is the requested bump pic:

And an updated countdown:

4 weeks until the 3rd Trimester
9 weeks until my shower
13 weeks until I am considered full term
16 weeks until my due date
