23 weeks

the belly is getting huge! all non-maternity clothes are officially booted from the clothing rotation which means it's time to buy some more maternity clothes (or start doing laundry like 5 times a week!) from babycenter.com: Your baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound. His skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare him for breathing. He can swallow, but he normally won't pass his first stool (called meconium) until after birth. Loud noises heard often in utero — such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze your baby when he hears them outside the womb. look at that - i was right a few days ago when the wiener dog woke up roo :) hopefully roo will learn to sleep through anything, like a true bard!
