Week 23 Update and a little rambling...

WEEK 23:
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.

Warning...the next bit may be fueled by my wacked out pregnancy hormones....Sorry if it is a little on the schmarmy side...Now for a quick disclaimer, this is NOT Quinn, but it is what a baby looks like at 18 weeks, so Quinn looks even more like a little bitty person than this guy does. Kind of amazing isn't it? That Turner and I could create this? I truly feel like one of the luckiest people in the world to have a phenomenal husband, 2 semi-perfect dogs, great family and wonderful friends and to have a Quinn on the way. A girl couldn't get much luckier!
