Happy New Year & 23 weeks
What a combo! A new year is here...and this would be the year that I become a Mother...
I started the New Year fighting a cold and I think I may be just now beginning to beat it....finally! Our new years eve was uneventful. Stayed home and watched Four Brothers, Chris Rock on DVD and then the network TV's countdown *flipping channels!*
Babies are kicking away every day now...I don't know how much longer I can handle being up & about. Methinks der Bedrest will be prescribed before long now.
Babies this week:
Your baby is now about 8.4 inches from crown to rump (21cm) and weighs about 1.2 pounds (530g).
Your baby's face and body now look more like a full-term baby. She now looks close to how she will look at birth.
The eyes, though they are still closed, are now close together on the front of the face and the ears are in their final position. Eyelashes are fairly well-developed and hair is growing on your baby's head.
Your baby's movements are becoming more restricted now as she fills up the uterus more. Cartwheels and somersaults inside the amniotic sac are no longer possible, but she can still hold the umbilical cord and touch and feel around her. Though your baby is already living in tight quarters in the amniotic sac, she will soon have even less room to move around.
Her vital organs are now quite mature. However, since the lungs are not yet fully formed, your baby would have breathing problems if born prematurely at this stage.
Your baby is becoming increasingly conscious of the world outside and may feel startled when you are startled.
Your baby may alternate between having very active and very calm periods.
Your baby may have facial expressions such as frowning, squinting and pursing of the lips.

Me: I had hit 150lbs. earlier this week but with this cold I'm back down to 148....I'm sure once I beat it, my appetite will come back with a vengeance! Umm, this linea negra down the middle of my belly is getting darker by the day. No fun :(
Daddy is holding strong! He finally sees just how close we are to twin-dom! He's ready to buy his boys boots! And mentioned today that he wants to take the boys to the Galleria (Houston's fanciest schmancient shopping mall) because the boys will be "chick magnets" ---Lord, what HAVE I gotten myself into :)
