Week 23


Although I'm posting this photo on Sunday, my mom took it on Friday when I was 23 weeks pregnant.  My girls and I were in Wisconsin visiting my family (they had a great time) so my mom was able to take my photo for me. 

I have been getting a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions this last week.  My stomach gets so hard when that happens.  He's still moving around a lot and he sure is a kicker!  Maybe he'll be a soccer player :).  My pregnancy has been going pretty well. No major complaints now that morning sickness is past. 

By this week, our baby weighs almost one pound and his crown-to-rump length is about 8 inches.  He's about the size of a small doll.  Our baby's body is getting plumper but his skin is till wrinkled.  Lanugo hair on the body occasionally turn darker at this time.  Our baby's face and body begin to assume more of the appearance of an infant at birth.  His pancreas is also developing now.
