This month continues to be a period of rapid growth.  At 24 weeks, your baby can suck his thumb and hiccup.  Your baby's brain is also developing rapidly.  A special type of "brown fat" that keeps your baby warm at birth is forming. Baby girls develop eggs in the ovaries, and bones are becoming solid.  Your baby is almost fully formed and looks like a miniature human.  Your baby cannot usually live outside the uterus at this stage withouy highly specialized care.  By the end of the sixth month, your baby will be around 11 to 14 inches long and will weigh about 1 to 1.6 pounds.  Please continue to pray for this special child of God.
