Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 23 weeks
What’s developing: Ella Kate measures more than 11 inches from head to heel and weighs just over 1 pound. With a sense of movement well developed now, she can fell me dance... so turn up the music. :-) Her hearing is becoming more keen. The cochlea, the inner ear mechanism that houses all the components for hearing, is fully formed. She can hear what I hear, but not at the same level. The sounds/voices are muffled by muscles and tissues around my belly, the placenta, and the amniotic fluid. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Haven't weighed lately. :-)
Clothes: Maternity jeans/capris and maternity tops. Still in my regular scrubs pants, but mostly wearing maternity tops with them.
Gender: It's a GIRL!!!
Movement: Lots of movement lately. She's an active little thing.
Sleep: Still waking up about 2 times per night to use the bathroom.
What I miss: Jersey Mikes subs
Cravings: Still the chocolate milk.
Symptoms: Heartburn and had a little swelling of my feet this week.
Best Moment this week: Warm weather with FLIP FLOPS and feeling Ella move more and more.
Mike is still at home recovering at home and is getting stronger everyday. Still remember him in your thoughts and prayers!
"I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me." ~ Philippians 4:13
