How big is Caitlin?
Caitlin is about 14 ¼ inches long and weighs in at 2 ½ pounds. This still seems very small, but remember that during the last several weeks of my pregnancy she will gain a significant amount of weight.
What is happening with Caitlin?
Her brain is really beginning to develop into a more complex organ. Up until this point, Caitlin's brain has been relatively smooth, but beginning this week her brain will develop grooves and indentions along its surface. The amount of brain tissue also begins to increase during the 28th week.
The development of hair also continues. Eyebrows and eyelashes are visible, while the hair on your baby’s head grows even longer. Caitlin is also starting to look a little rounder as the fat storage under the skin continues to develop. This is an important part of development that will continue through the remainder of my pregnancy.

Weeks 25 & 24
Week 25
How big is Caitlin?
Caitlin is now 12 inches long and weighs anywhere from 1½ to 1¾ pounds.
What is happening with Caitlin?
While it does not appear that Caitlin is that big, she is slowly gaining some baby fat, making hher appearance less wrinkled. If Caitlin has hair, the color and texture could be seen at this point. However, it can change after she is born.
Week 24 How big is Caitlin? Caitlin is now 11 inches long and weighs 1¼ to 1½ pounds.
What is happening with Caitlin? Caitlin's brain is growing rapidly at this time. Taste buds are also developing, and the lungs are becoming more developed and complex. The branches of the main lung are beginning to form as well as special cells that will produce surfactant. Surfactant is necessary for the air sacs to inflate easily. Babies who are born prematurely often have trouble breathing because these cells have not had enough time to develop or are not producing the necessary amounts of surfactant.
