Week 23

Yes, I know. I've been bad. Two weeks with no post! I've been busying editing a textbook with a fast-approaching deadline, and the downside of that has been very little free time. The upside though is that the job should be paying for most of the nursery (hooray!).

To make up for my absence I have multiple pics to share. The first is of me at week 22 - I think you'll agree that the bump has grown noticeably since the last pic. I've also posted the promised pictures of Maggie in my new baby sling. She is actually surprisingly calm in there, although I wouldn't say she looks exactly "happy" :-) What do you think?

This is week 23, and for the entirety of month 5 baby is the size of a papaya. This week baby now weighs 1 pound and is 8 inches from crown to rump (or bigger than a sub sandwich, as Jeremy likes to point out). Jeremy and I also got some interesting news this week. Apparently the baby's kidneys could not be seen clearly enough on the last ultrasound so we have a second one scheduled for this Tuesday. We'd both agreed to not find out if Baby B was a boy or girl, but now we maaaaaay be changing our minds. I guess you'll have to wait and see if we want Baby B to be a secret or not! Stay tuned!
