We have finally made it to twenty-four weeks! Twenty-four weeks is the magic number in obstetrics and pediatrics. It is the week at which the fetus may potentially be viable outside of the uterus, with a lot of NICU support of course. As an Ob, it is the gestational age at which you start mattering to me, however harsh that sounds :) It is a big milestone for sure. Everything has continued to go smoothly without any problems. At twenty-four weeks, most fetuses are about one and a third pounds and nearly twelve inches. They are similar in size to a cantaloupe! LB does not feel that big to me yet. My favorite foods are apples and chocolate... which is baseline for me. I have not had the crazy cravings people talk about. I first felt LB move a little after twenty weeks and Alex finally felt her wiggle over the past two weeks. Only a few more months to go, although I wish time would just slow down!
