We are now 23 weeks pregnant - officially 5 months along. The second pregnancy certainly seems to go a lot faster than the first one. :) We've also just come out of the Christmas holiday (look for a separate blog on that one).
I still feel like the belly is tracking bigger than the first time around, but weight wise (thanks to a 2 week virus) I'm behind a little bit now. We've decided on Abigail (Abby) as the name (hopefully you saw in our Christmas cards that we're having a GIRL!!!. Still debating the middle name. Abby is moving like crazy. Her favorite time of day seems to be between 8pm and 10pm at night.
Abby is now more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (we finally hit the 1 lb. mark!). Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.
