23 Weeks and Christmas

How the baby's growing: "Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her 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 her when she hears them outside the womb."

We had a GREAT Christmas! I can't believe it's already come and gone.  It's even harder to believe that next Christmas I'll be a mother. WEIRD!  It was a lot of fun hosting everyone at my house.  I can't wait to do it again! Below are a few pictures from the festivities :)
