Mommy & Me
Week 23. Only 17 more to go, more or less. Yeesh!Pregnancy is not glamorous. Alarmingly, it is becoming harder to get up off the couch. I'm not talking laziness, but inertia here. Oh yeah. I've decided that those weird movements I've been feeling for a while now must be the baby. Either that, or my bowels are deciding to move to better real estate. It is so weird the way it feels. It is over before you know it, so you can't get your hand down there fast enough.
Prince Charming has started talking to his daughter. Most of the conversations center on Badger Football, but I figure there is no harm in it. She doesn't understand anyway. So anyway, the experts weigh in on week 23:
Your baby weighs about a pound now! The body is becoming better proportioned
each day, and the bones of the middle ear begin to harden.If born now, your baby has a chance for survival. Let's hope, however, that the baby stays put for several more weeks!
Your baby still has room to move around so you're probably feeling kicks, jabs, flips and flops. You may even see your abdomen move. Your uterus is about 1 1/2 inches above your belly button.
If you're having some wild mood swings, don't fret. They're normal even if they don't feel normal. Try to be good to yourself when you're feeling blue.
