Here’s me hanging out at home in workout pants and a too small t-shirt at 23 weeks 4 days.  I’m actually starting to look a little bigger these days.

Our little girl is likely about 11 inches long at this point.  Some other possible development milestones for her at this point:

Eyebrows and eyelashes forming
Lips becoming more distinct
Bones of the middle ear hardening

Speaking of our baby’s ears, I learned on Pregnancy.org that unborn babies have an easier time hearing lower tones.  In line with that, [...]
