WEEK 23!!!

New News!

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 ( 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.

Well, he's been super active lately, which I love- he likes to move from one side of me to the other in the mornings. I'm getting bigger now for sure- I've popped! I get to go to the doctor on Thursday, so hopefully I will learn some more about him! This week we went to Bloomington for the Women's Little 500 race, which was so fun- the girls & GP did amazing! We also got to hang out with some friends- he realllly liked being at little 5 and was active the whole time I was down there!!! We will be back in Bloomington this next weekend (May 1st) for the Coach Hep Cancer Challenge with Whitney! Hopefully I'll get to catch up with some of the football boys too! I'm sure this little man will be excited about that (since he'll be playing football in the future!) Good Job to all the boys from IU who got drafted or signed as free agents!

That's about all I have for you today- not much baby news. I bought the first BOX of baby wipes this weekend- many more to come! We have the upstairs room painted and now just need to get the furniture in there! Dad (Vincent) was in Santa Fe this last week and got him a really neat cross to go above his bed- the metal that's used was from the old churches around! I bought a "feeding table" at a baby show I went to last weekend by Babee Tenda- it's awesome! They use them in hospitals-super safe too! It's cherry wood with a blue and white striped seat! So cute. It does so many things- that way I won't have to get a ton of other things such as a high-chair, bouncy chair/walker, etc. It does all sorts of things... I am also looking into Cord Blood Banking so, if you know anyone who's done it, let me know how they liked it! It's pretty expensive, but seems worth while! I've got to make my mind up on that soon! Well, love you all and thanks for reading!!!
