23 weeks 5 days!


How our baby's growing:

23 Weeks 5 Days

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 (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 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.

We can feel baby Walker moving all the time! He is quite hyper! With all the excitement of the arrival of Walker I can't help but feel a little sad. It seems like this pregnancy is just flying by! I guess with knowing this will definitely be our last child it makes me think that this will be the last time I will ever feel something move inside of me! I love that feeling! Knowing that he is in there safe and sound is wonderful! But I will tell you... I wont be missing the restless leg, heartburn, sleepless nights ( although I know those won't be over for years to come),exhaustion, and can't forget all the forgetfulness ( my sister makes a trip to my house at least once a week to make sure I have turned off my straightner, iron, candles, etc. She's a life saver!).
So even though I am a little sad I am also extremely happy! I can't wait to have little Walker in my arms! I used to sing and talk to Robert all the time while he was in my belly, I feel like I haven't done that much with Walker. When I try Robert tells me to stop! Little stinker. So I am going to try to do more of that before I don't get the chance!

Just wanted to give a little updated!

What a cute prego belly! Reading this makes me miss being prenant, that is the cooles thing when you start to feel the baby move, especially when you not only can feel it but see it move, so cool.

ps...how was the reception??
