Update: 24 Weeks - Viability Milestone!!!
- Baby weighs about 1.3 lbs, is a foot long and is gaining around 30 ounces per week. This week though, she'll gain 6 ounces of muscle, tissue and bone mass.
- She would be considered viable at this stage and has around a 36% chance of survival if born preterm.
- Her ears and taste buds work better and may be able to make pissed off faces if she hears or tastes something she doesn't like.
- Waking and sleeping schedule will become more regular although it may be too early to start counting kicks.
- Creases have appeared on her hands and her fingerprints are formed. She didn't do it, I swear.
- Eyelids are fully defined and her eyelashes are visible on a 3d ultrasound. She won't be able to wear mascara though for quite awhile.
- She can now get the hiccups and stick out her tongue on purpose. :p
