Birthday Ticker

23 weeks--17 more to go!!

This week baby Lily is about the size of a large mango weighing in from 1-3 pounds and over 11 inches long! Her kicks are getting stronger but she stays put low in my belly...her head is pretty much jammed in my pelvis (She's anxious to meet her family!!) She is so far down that the doctors have trouble finding her heartbeat and are unable to measure my cervix using an ultra sound machine, but rest assured she is just fine!! A strong heartbeat measuring in at 160 beats per minute. :) Her schedule is pretty obvious by now...she likes to play just after breakfast around 7:00am, around 10:30, lunch at 12:00, 3:30ish, and her night time water aerobics usually begin around 8:00-8:30. :) Around this time the average sleep time for her is about 14-17 hours a day, lucky girl!
Daddy can really feel her kick these days and he absolutely loves every second of it!! He first felt you kick on 3-6-2011, you should have seen the smile on his face!! :) He loves you more than anything already!

I'm growing so much each day! These days I let mommy know when I am awake and the doctors say I'm so active they would almost think I was a boy!! My kicks are getting stronger and I am starting to get a schedule for my sleeping pattern. Daddy can barely feel me kick, but mommy sure can!! Check out my facial features, I am developing quite quickly these days!
