23 weeks

Nothing new has happened. Baby kicks and moves as its supposed to.

I saw the hospital doctor last Wednesday everything is fine pregnancy is as normal as any other except for my blood pressure which was a little high.
But I hadn't had chocolate for a couple of days nor coke but it seems when I have a little bit of each it lowers my blood pressure.
I go back in two weeks for the sugar test.

Week Twenty-Three

• Proportions of the body are now quite similar to a newborn although thinner since he hasn't begun to form body fat.
• Bones located in the middle ear harden.
• Your baby is able to hear. (Dads, did you know: low-frequency sounds mimicking a male voice penetrate the abdomen and uterine wall better than the higher frequencies of the female voice?)
• The eyes are formed, though the iris still lacks pigmentation.
• The pancreas, essential in the production of hormones, is developing steadily. She has begun producing insulin, important for the breakdown of sugars.
• If born now, your baby has a 15% chance of survival, his odds going up with each passing day. .
• The average baby at this stage weighs 1.1 pound (501gm) and is 11.38 inches (28.9cm) long.
