Only 17 Weeks to Go!

23 weeks already!

Here's the update on B:

"Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. (She must have really enjoyed the wedding!) And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about the size of 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."

This is good news, hopefully she'll be use to her big sister Sadie's loud bark and will be able to sleep through Sadie's outbursts!




How big is a large mango? These descriptions rarely help me visualize her because it's mostly comparisons to foods that I don't eat... I hope B is a better eater than me.

Nothing new to report. I get a little bigger each day, but otherwise everything is the same.
