Spiritual Adoption

Your baby is 24 weeks old now. About 6 months!

He is 14 inches now and weighs about 1 2/3 of a pound. He is starting to put on a lot more baby fat now, so when he is born, the baby fat will keep him warm –and make him look very cute! He also sometimes makes breathing movements when he inhales amniotic fluid. This helps him get ready to breathe real air when he is born. Finally, the baby can make many different facial expressions now – watch the Baby's Progress video to learn more!
