23 Weeks.

So the Papaya comparison holds until the end of next week, but as far as development this week, the "experts" have this to say about our little man...

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound, 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 your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing his 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 him when he hears them outside the womb.

As for me, my good friend nausea seems to be making a reappearance. Not sure what this is all about, but I'm NOT a fan. I'm also getting hot flashes. Our little boy gets more and more active every day. He is already taking after his father... he LOVES food. I swear as soon as I put something in my mouth, he starts doing back flips. It's pretty entertaining.

I can now see kicks from the outside. It's really cool and kinda weird, but I love it! Strangers are finally starting to make comments on my belly. It's good to know that the rest of the world can now tell I'm pregnant.

Other than that, nothing much to report... :)
