24 weeks



Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

Also, this week marked my V-Day. The point at which a pregnancy is now viable. At 24 weeks Baby B has a 36% of survival in the event he would be born now. It's a scary thought that a baby would be born at only 24 weeks (even though so many babies are each year) but it's a great milestone to reach knowing that from here on out, Baby B has a chance to be a healthy little guy.

So here's to V-Day, although Momma wants her little man to stay in his comfy home for at least another 13 weeks.
