23 Weeks

More Christmas posts to come, but for now, here's my 23 week update!  I have to admit, I had to think for a minute about what week I am... seems like this month is getting all jumbled together, which is more than fine with me as it is flying by!  I can't believe I'm only a month from the third trimester. 

Baby is about eleven inches long and just over a pound this week, about the size of a large mango.  The most exciting development over the past few weeks (in my opinion) is Baby's hearing.  S/he can now hear other voices and sounds outside of my body.

Except for daily heartburn, I am feeling pretty good.  I am having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions, which I don't remember feeling with Elli until the last month or so.  Hopefully they are preparing me for a much shorter labor this time!  I have also had some pretty good nesting urges, which I really needed after getting so behind last fall.  The kitchen has been completely reorganized and cleaned - next up: the master closet!  Yikes... it's kinda scary in there!  

Not a whole lot of change from last photo, but I am noticing my belly bumping into things much more frequently.
