Baby Destin is a boy

In three days, I am going to see my baby. I've been so excited since the last month to check my baby's gender but due to my exiguous resources, I wasn't able to have the pelvic ultrasound and so I asked my OB-GYNE to have it scheduled this Saturday. Hey Destin? Are you a girl? are you a boy? Mommy wants to know.

I wanted to have a baby boy, now for what reason? I've always wanted to have an older brother someone who could fight for me, someone who could stop the bullies from ridiculing me. So, I just wished that God will grant me this one wish of mine. But I can feel it, Destin is a boy, a healthy baby boy, a handsome baby boy. 

I wanted a baby boy, but I know God has his own plans. If it's a girl, if it's a boy. It would still be the greatest gift I will be receiving this February.

Thank You Lord.

I love you Baby Destin.

 

My Baby's Development (DESTIN @ 24 weeks)

Your fetus weighs more than 1.3 pounds/ 600 grams. Though she still has little body fat and her skin is thin and fragile, she's now well-proportioned. Her brain is growing rapidly, and she is starting to fill the space in your uterus. From crown to heel she could measure 11.8 inches/ 30 centimeters. If you went into labor
at this time, however, many obstetricians and doctors would make every effort to halt the progress of premature labor to enable your baby to continue maturing. 

You may be noticing faint, red or brown streaks known as striae or stretch marks on your abdomen, hips and breasts. While creams won't erase them, wearing a supportive bra may help prevent or minimize them on your breasts. They are very common at this stage of the pregnancy - about 90 per cent of women get them. After you've given birth, the reddish or brown pigmentation in the stretch marks gradually fades, and the streaks become lighter than the surrounding skin.
