24 Weeks Pregnant
Today is the beginning of the end of month five!
I can't believe how fast this whole thing is going by. Before you know it, the little one is going to be in our arms and with us forever. That thought both inspires and haunts me.
Week 24 brings new activity to the baby's brain. It is wiring to the rest of the body so that the organs can talk to each other. His or her inner ear is formed to its adult size and he or she is practicing moving its facial muscles by raising the eyebrow. Cute! The lungs are also developing some sort of thing they need for the baby to breathe once it's on the outside.
As far as I'm concerned I feel great. I am still having a kind of stiffness in my pubic bone, but I suppose that'll be there til I give birth.
Hubby and I went for a walk today and that was nice. The weather in Dubai has been formidable and the cloudy sky made the walk bearable for hubby's sensitive Scottish skin.
The baby was rather active today. I felt kicks and swats throughout the day. These sensations really brighten my mood and settle me down.
The cat has also started acting weird. He wants to snuggle so close to me - grasping on to my belly and even coming right up to my face like he wants kisses. Every single time I sit on the couch he does this. It's my husband who gives him all the strokes and cuddles but for some reason, he wants to snuggle me.
We wondered if cats could tell if you're pregnant, and we read that they can smell the pheromones and enjoy the added warmth of a pregnant body. Boh. Who knows if that's true.
