Week 23: Our Sweet Little Mango

Today we are 23 weeks pregnant! I feel like the exciting parts of pregnancy are still ahead of us- nursery decorations, birthing classes, finalizing her name, and of course baby showers. I appreciate everyone's thoughts on the hospital gown. I think my Mom is going to make me a gown for labor and delivery and then I'll purchase a nursing gown and robe set for afterward.

We have the paint chosen for her room and need to pick a weekend for Marcus to paint. We are hoping he'll do the base coat in September and our detailed painting will come in October. So much to do in 17 weeks! I can't wait!

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

I recommend signing up for childbirth classes ASAP or you'll be like us and end up missing the last 2 because you're in labor!!!
