24 weeks

Baby Adalee has been in my belly for 24 weeks now and you can definitely tell it is growing right along with her. I have gained about 10 pounds so far and it all seems to be in the belly. She is moving around so much now. We have taught Aydin how to say her name and it is so cute hearing him saying "Love you baby Adalee" and kissing my belly. I hope he is still that sweet once she is born! I really think he will be a great big brother to his baby sister.

Baby Adalee is now about a foot long and has gained about 4 ounces since last week which means she is around a pound and a half. We get to have another ultrasound next wednesday so we can't wait to see how she has changed. Her brain is also developing quickly now along with her lungs. They are developing branches of the respiratory tree as well as cells that produce surfactant which is a substance that helps her air sacs inflate once she is born.
