23 weeks! 119 days to go!

Baby's size: 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.


Baby's development: Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance.  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.




Best of the week: Bella is moving like crazy! Chris was able to feel her on Sunday! He was so excited he told me to write the date down!



Worst of the week: Indecisive about what I want to eat




Side Effects: Inconsistent sleeping patterns. One night I will sleep 10 hours, the next night I'll be wide awake at 5:30 a.m.




Cravings: Halloween candy. Although I think that has more to do with the season and not my pregnancy!




This week's goals: Drink more water, start cardio walking, start nesting! (Same as last week)




Anticipating: Seeing how Bella does on a road trip!  We are headed up to the mountains for a couples get-a-way! And of course, the UA vs. TN game!



Pics:  So I had planned on taking pictures tonight when Chris gets home..but I've been in my p.j.'s all day and don't feel like changing..guess I will have some next week for the 6 month pics! :)
