Week 23 Survey!!!

Baby's now the size of a papaya!!!

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound, you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him 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 him when he hears them outside the womb.



Survey


How far along? 23 weeks

Weight Gain? Stayed off the scale this week, I think I just don't want to know anymore, lol!
Out of the 18+lbs I've gained Beau should count for a little over 1 of those!

Maternity clothes? Loving my new dresses, already not loving my small (in quantity/options) wardrobe

Stretch marks? Haven't seen any.....yet...Got me some new cocoa butter that smells so much better, I can actually stand to put it on!

Sleep? It's been much better this week, I hope that it continues!

Best moment this week? Getting so much accomplished on Beau's room, that will be apost all it's own!

Movement? Still rocking and rolling in there!! Kolby has seen him moving through my belly, but I'm not sure if we've caught him time for Kolby to feel him moving. We sat on the couch this afternoon and watched my belly dance a little bit, still so much fun!

Belly Button: In or Out? It's almost totally flatten out now, but when I lay on my back, it goes back in, it's funny!

Food cravings? Loving pretty much all food!!! I've been wanting broccoli and cheese soup alot!
Gender? Little Beau is going to be a sharp dressed man, especially after our shopping this weekend!

Labor signs? Nope, we've been all good! I love that I haven't had to write anything here yet!

What I miss? Not sweating...period. Before pregnancy, I was definitely not a sweater, but now I do, and it's just YUCK!!!

What I'm looking forward to? Our ultrasound appointment with the specialist on Tuesday!

Weekly Wisdom: Be prepared, be ready early, you never know what might happen...bedrest, early labor, too tired to move, lol, you never know! Do things while you are feeling good!

Milestones: 1 week to the 24 week viability point! And only 15 weeks to delivery week...Yikes!!!
