Week 23: The Never Ending List

23 weeks

The list of things to get done seems to grow every freaking day. We got signed up for baby classes, they are 2 hours long every Thursday for 5 weeks! The nursery room is still a hot mess. The house is never clean, the dogs are wacky from all the fireworks. Can't decide on a crib. My nails and eyebrows are looking really trashy. The next few weeks are going to be busy busy and we need to decide what to do with the boys. And every few days someone asks me about the baby shower. All that crap and we don't even have a kid yet!

Ali still hasn't popped yet, my guess is that it will be another week, but you never know...she is going for acupuncture today which I have ALWAYS wanted to do. That's just another thing I am glad she is going to experience first!!! Can't wait to meet my little niece!

Thank you Shannon Rudd! Shannon sent Andrew the BEST daddy book. I could not for the life of me get him to pic up an informational book or magazine. The stuff Shannon sent he has been very interested in. It has lots of pictures which is a good start and none of it was my idea :) He now wants to sew a mop to a onesie so that when our baby starts crawling she can help clean the floors.

Baby Center Update:
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.
