Owen is about 11½ inches long and weighs 1 pound, gaining steadily at a rate of about 6 ounces per week. Much of that weight comes from growing organs, bones, muscle and accumulating baby fat. And boy do you do use those muscles to move around. Mommy has been recording your movements for a few weeks now!
If we had a baby cam at 24 weeks pregnant, we’d almost be able to tell by now who you look like. Your cute little face, though still tiny, is almost fully formed, complete with eyelashes, eyebrows and hair.
Will you have brown, black, blond or red hair — or something in between? Actually, right now your locks are white, since there's no pigment yet. The fat that will be piled on under your skin is also missing from the picture right now.
Until those fat deposits are made, that very tender skin is still very transparent, which means a close look would let you see clear through to all the organs, bones and blood vessels. Fortunately, that see-through look won't last much longer.
