so I feel big. really big. too big too fast…(wait, didn’t I complain about this last week too?) Our bouncing baby boy is really starting to move, but I’m not sure if it’s really noticeable to outsiders yet…I know I feel him moving – especially after ice cream! – and it’s getting fun!
Here’s what Baby Center says for week 23:
And now that he’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 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 him 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.
So I ended up buying new shoes yesterday – slip on shoes that is! I was having a hard time getting my regular shoes tightened and tied, and when I played with my friend, Amanda, yesterday and saw her slip on shoes, I decided that’s what I needed too. So, I got some – and I can put them on without a struggle! YAY!!!!
The office is half clean so we’re getting closer to switching the kids room – they are so excited. I can’t wait to get more organized and have everything in its place. I’ve been getting rid of things we do not use and throwing away things we don’t need anymore. We noticed after we moved into our new place that we still feel overcrowded because of all the junk we have. So, we’re slowly getting through it. We’re saving up to buy new couches so I will be excited about that – we have a lot of ‘wants’ on our list to do so I’ll keep this posted as we do things. Can you say “nesting”?
