Our Girl - 23 Weeks

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she'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 her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears 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.

Here is our daily snow update for Grandpa Harley:

The snow on the deck this morning was above my knee (or in Abby terms up to her armpits). Roughly 20 to 21 inches. In the yard it is probably more like 17 to 18, since we've had to clear a trail for Maize on the deck, so there is a bit of extra snow accumulation where we've tossed the extra snow.
