Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, her newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.
Note: here are last weeks photo's. I had to wait until Jordan got home to be able to take them for me so they are more like 23.5 week photos...
Ok...got to go to another Dr. Appointment this week! All went well, I am right on track for growth, movement, etc, etc, etc. I also got to book my last two monthly appointments...as of 32 weeks (first week of February) I will be going every two weeks. Yikes, that seems so close! I did my glucose test also, the only bad part was the waiting room (small and a bunch of sniffly people). The test itself was NOT as bad as everyone says...really was just like a more sweet version of a flat soda. Got myself a straw and sucked it down in about 3 swigs then waited my hour. Hopefully I pass, both for the baby's health as well as me selfishly not wanting to go back for the three hour test...my attention span is not that long! Also I learned that if I pass then that is my last blood draw until the end, woo hoo! No more quest diagnostics waiting room (hopefully)!

Another great thing as that 24 weeks marks "viability week"...wikipedia's definition shows what I mean... "20 to 35 percent of babies born at 23 weeks of gestation survive, while 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 24 to 25 weeks, and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks, survive." Another milestone reached...now stay in there until at least full term (37 weeks) little one!!
We have had a crazy week. Jordan came home from New Orleans, both of us have been working hard, and are going through the process of buying a house. If all goes well we will have the keys mid-January and be able to start packing, painting, and watching people of the male persuasion move stuff for me (darn...I can't lift the boxes hehe). Last night we got to go to Jordan's company holiday party for a nice dinner at the Marine Room. We went there a few years ago and the food is amazing! We had to bring White Elephant gifts...I think there might be a little bit of Electric Reindeer wine involved :-)
Next weekend we are going to head out to Palm Springs to see the grandparents and parents (on my side) briefly and pick up my brother's fabulous old "hooded cradle" my parents dug out of the depths of the garage and cleaned up for little Thor. It will be nice to have a mini pre-Christmas celebration with my parents since it is not their year to have us! I will leave you with a fun survey I found...enjoy!
