23 Weeks

Sorry I am late but work has been crazy and we did not get back from our short visit to Atlanta until Tuesday night.

This is what is going on with Erynn this week. We go back to the doctor on Monday so I will have some updates on Tuesday.

Your baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound. Her skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare her for breathing. She can swallow, but she normally won't pass her 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 she hears them outside the womb. (So she probably already knows who Sebastian is since he rarely stops talking.)
