23 weeks!


Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

How far along?
23 weeks today
Maternity clothes? Wearing a lot more maternity tops now!
Stretch marks? Nope, please stay this way!
Sleep: Was horrible last night...I'm sick and woke up all through the night
Best moment this week: Picking out paint for the nursery...so fun!
Movement: All the time, Jordan still hasn't been able to feel it yet though
Food cravings: I had a major craving for Chips & Salsa one day and a Reese Cup Blizzard on Saturday, that's about it.
Gender: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie
What I miss: Not much!
What I am looking forward to: Painting the nursery and trying to find a really cool antique dresser
Weekly Wisdom: Don't go to a gigantic baby rummage sale and then not wash your hands when you get home...I'm convinced this is the reason why I'm sick.
