23 WEEKS DOWN, 17 TO GO!

I'm 23 weeks 2 days pregnant today. It's so crazy to think that I still have so much time left, but at the same time this pregnancy seems to have flown by!

Everything has been pretty smooth so far. I recently started getting nervous about the whole birthing process, but I'm trying my best not to freak myself out too much. Also, as dumb and shallow as it may seem, I'm getting a bit bummed out about how fat my arms and my face are getting. I know, I know. People can say whatever they want to me to try and make me feel better about it, but the truth is that it doesn't matter what people say. I hate that my face and arms are fat, and that's that. :-P Eeshk.

Baby Ben is kicking a lot these days. And just a couple of days ago, I felt the hardest kick so far. :-) It was really neat! Mark felt a good kick last night, as well.

I can't wait to meet the little guy!

According to www.babycenter.com:
"Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him 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 him when he hears them outside the womb."
