Week 23 Update

We went to see Dr. Henry on Monday and everything looked great he said.  Her heartbeat is doing well and all tests came back normal.  This week he began measuring my abdomen and we discussed my upcoming glucose test next month.  I've already heard lots of fun stories about this test so I'm ready to get it over with. :)  Again, this week I experienced lots of kicks from Baby H.  She is pretty predictable and tends to move around most at breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I also felt her up towards my ribs for the first time which was pretty interesting.

We have been reading lots to Baby H as these last few weeks they say her hearing is really developing.  This week, George read Peter Pan to her and I did all the fun sound effects.  Especially when pronouncing Hook's first mates name, "Smee!"  This was a longer book than usual so we had fun with it.  According to BabyCenter, Baby H is now over a foot long from head to toe and weighs over a pound (similar to a large mango).  It's hard to believe that she is already this big!

As you can see from the picture below, our little "mango" is not in hiding any longer!  This week, I have developed a love for Braum's waffle cones and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.  One of the perks of eating for two!

Week 23
George has made even more progress on the house today.  He tore out the rest of the old bookshelves, wood paneling, sheet rock, ceiling faux beams and even scraped the popcorn off the ceiling!  This coming week, they will be tiling the bath surround with our new mosaic tiles that came in!  The picture below shows the floor tile and bath tile.  We have also ordered all the built-ins for the master closet .  The millworks company will be delivering our closet and master bath vanity soon.  We can't wait!
