24 weeks is the day many women call "Viability Day." The reason to "celebrate" this day is because the baby has at least a fighting chance if he were to be born today. Also, I've read a few stories of women who ended up giving birth prior to 24 weeks at which the doctors won't do anything to help the baby. He would have no chance. Starting today, he has some chance.
So Happy 24 weeks to my baby boy! Stick in there for another 13-16 weeks and save your mommy from worrying. :)
**Eek! 13 weeks? As a type this I realize that his birthday isn't as far away as it once seemed!
