Take Off at 23 weeks!

Wow, every morning I'm amazed how my stomach has grown over night. I'm having a hard imagining myself a month from now, b/c I will be large. It seems so far that it's all in my belly, thank goodness. Could you imagine if my butt grew bigger and bigger every single night, scary. Anyway, things seem to be on track and I am feeling just fine. We are headed to the doctor on Monday so I will post then with an update

How your baby's growing:Your baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango). His skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare him for breathing. He can swallow, but he normally won't pass his first stool (called meconium) until after birth. Loud noises heard often in utero — such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze your baby when he hears them outside the womb.

You look great and are doing wonderful. You really are growing and enjoying every minute of it. Baby Dan is so lucky to have such loving parents before he's even born. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to Monday.
