23 weeks

Week 23: Still a papaya! Feeling energetic and excited about the upcoming birth? If you find yourself dancing around the house with joy, your baby will hear the music and feel you sway, since his hearing and sense of movement are well developed now. He's also started blinking his eyelids. Once you reach this 24th week of pregnancy, your baby becomes "viable". This means that he has a chance of survival if born now. With each week that passes, he becomes more and more mature and better able to cope with the outside world.

I have been feeling regular movements now, at the same times of the day (or night!) and it is wonderful! I was awake last night for what felt like forever, just feeling the baby move! Same with this morning.. Mike can feel it all the time now, big hard kicks.

Tonight is Mike's Christmas party for work, and I am really looking forward to it. We get to stay overnight at the hotel (Granny and Grampa came to watch Ben! And the dogs!) and relax. And sleep in a king size bed! Then go for breakfast the next morning! And I won't have a hangover this year! LOL! The time is muchly needed for us though, and appreciated 100%! Thanks Mom and Dad! I will be sure to get a picture taken of me all glammed up :D
