23 weeks

How far along: 23 weeks 

Baby's size: baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound - about as large as a mango

What baby is up to (according to Babycenter.com):
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. 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. 

Symptoms: some lower back pain

Total Weight Gain: 16 pounds

Best moment since last update: we enjoyed all the snow we got J

Movement: yep! Baby has started moving around when I sing Joel to sleep

Food cravings: nothing specific this week

What I miss: being comfortable - it's been difficult to get comfortable while sitting, laying down, sleeping, standing

What I'm looking forward to: Joel being able to feel the baby kick
