23

This week, Baby Girl D is about the size of a mango.

How far along: 23 weeks
Net weight gain/loss: up ? lbs. (I haven’t weighed since my last dr. visit, but I know I’ve grown since then!) I go to the dr. Wednesday, so we’ll see then.
Maternity clothes: Still loving maternity pants. I’ve decided it’s good to be pregnant in winter – most of my sweaters work just fine!
Stretch marks: No (and let’s pray for none!!)
Belly button: innie (but, Wow, is it stretching!)
Sleep: Pretty good…I’ve had a lot of good sleep in the recliner this afternoon!
Baby movement: Yes! She loves music and moves all around when she hears it.
Food cravings: Not really anything this week.
Food aversions: No…
What I miss: Not a thing!
Looking forward to: Ordering furniture – I’ll post a picture soon.
Best moment this week: We’ve discovered this weekend that we can “see” Baby Girl move if we watch my belly…who ever thought watching a belly could be so entertaining?!
Milestones: Blood vessels in Baby’s lungs are developing to prepare for breathing. The sounds that her increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as Win barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb. Her first words may be “No bark, Win!”
