23 Weeks

At 23 weeks, I'm supposed to be about the size of a large mango.  Mom says she's pretty sure I'm bigger than that based on the size of her growing belly!  I truly appreciated all the extra food the holidays brought!  ;)






We had another doctor's appointment this week, and all is well.  Mom's blood pressure was rather low, which explains the frequent light headed episodes, but she's done a great job of noticing the signs early and getting water and/or cooling down as necessary.

I'll be 24 weeks along as of tomorrow.  The big change this week is that Mom is starting to notice a touch of heartburn, which she thinks may mean that I'll have a head full of hair just like my big bro did.  You'll just have to wait and see!  ;)  Other than that, I've been moving around a ton and Daddy's felt my love kicks several times.  Elijah's taken great interest in feeling me kick, but I have yet to cooperate when his hand is on Mom's belly.  He's also been very curious as to how I'm going to get out of Mommy's belly.  He's convinced that I'm going to "pop out of Mommy's belly button hole."  Mom always just laughs and explains that the doctor will help me out at the hospital.  Elijah informed Daddy that my name is Beanie today, which I'm not sure I'm very excited about.  I'm hoping Mom and Dad don't take him too seriously!

Only 16 weeks to go!  Hard to believe that I'll be joining your world in just a couple of months.  Excited to meet everyone!

Love,
Baby Jelly Bean
