Going on 24 Weeks ....

Almost 6 months ... or 24 weeks ... I've gained 17 lbs so far ... I was hoping that I'd gain about 15-20 lbs through the whole pregnancy but I guess that's not going to happen. Little "Priscilla" is very active ... she's my little dancer ... even the doc and ultrasound technicians have a hard time taking certain pictures because she's always moving about. Here's hoping the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly.
I've been thinking of painting her room , (former guest room) lilac or a very very soft mossy green. Husband says to wait till she's almost here ... it's an asian superstitious belief I guess ... suppose to wait till the last minute before buying baby stuff. We sort of did the same thing with our two other kids ... with our son, we waited really last minute ... he was off buying stuff while I was at home with the baby (the only thing we purchased was the car seat, some pampers and a few clothes that were baby shower gifts).
the unborn child is covered with a fine, downy hair called lanugo. Its tender skin is protected by a waxy substance called vernix. Some of this substance may still be on the child's skin at birth at which time it will be quickly absorbed. The child practices breathing by inhaling amnionic fluid into developing lungs.
