Week 23

Baby Sonny is currently eight inches long from head to rump and weighs just over a pound, he is approximately the size of a papaya.  In the next 4 weeks Baby Sonny should double in weight.  His skin is reddish in color now because of developing blood vessels under the skin.  His cochlea (inner ear) is fully developed, which will help him hear when Jeff and I talk to him.  He might even hear Jack bark occasionally.

Not much new this week, but I have to mention that I have really been enjoying the attention that comes with being pregnant.  On Monday when I walked onto the general surgery floor, Darcy (a general surgery nurse) walked over to me to say hello, rub my belly, and greet Baby Sonny.  As I walked down the hall, I was stopped over and over again by the nurses on the floor to touch my belly.  I loved all of the attention!  I ate it up!!!
