23 weeks

Baby's now the size of a pomegranate!



Baby's little face is fully formed...minus the baby fat, of course. Also, with his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as a dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't phase him when he hears them outside the womb.

At our last ultrasound, the tech confirmed that baby boy's feet are way down low and his head is up towards my ribs. I wasn't surprised at all to hear it was his feet kicking me down there :)  He's been pretty hard to feel just by placing your hand on my belly, but boy is he active from the inside!  Tonight was the first time that I looked down and could actually see movement from the outside...it was kind of awesome!
