23 weeks

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she'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 her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her 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 her when she hears them outside the womb.

Hmmm... dancing... that hasn't happened in a while. The squirming I have definitely been feeling a lot of lately. Very random. Whenever I try to have T feel them, she never cooperates. Hopefully soon. :)

Glad to know that when she gets here she'll already be accustomed to the dogs barking. Although really it's just Smokey barking and us yelling "Remy! Stop humping your brother!" It's nice that she's getting used to that now.

Wow, this weekend seemed to go by in the whirlwind. Saturday my mom and I headed to the fabric store to get what we need for the crib set. Then home to watch my poor spartans get their arse whooped by a very good (I hate to admit) osu team. :( Then a nap and a sweetest day dinner out to the closest restaurant to us. Sunday was spent madly cleaning our house. I was exhausted by the time my parents and T's parents got here for an early dinner. As soon as everyone left, I was back on the couch for a long overdue nap. Then up again this morning to start a new week at school. BAH! I didn't even get a chance to watch all my tivo shows this weekend :( This coming weekend I'm not planning on leaving my house. T and the dads are making a pilgrimage to the promised land (aka pheasant hunting paradise in s. dakota) so my mom and their dog are moving in with me and smokey. Good times!

I keep meaning to post pics of the crib and everything. My parents also brought over the antique cradle that I used when I was a baby. My dad repainted it last week and it's just gorgeous. It's not something that's been in our family forever - it would be cool if it were, but my grandma was able to bargain it from the people that they bought a house from. It was in the attic of the garage and the previous owner was showing her around. She made an offer and they left it! :) So it's a "new" antique to us. Well, like 40 years or so. I WILL post pics soon. Promise.

Okay, I have to go to bed. Exhausted. Yawn. G'night...
