We're on the cusp of viability!!!
Riley has been crazy. I know all Mom's say this but we really think she might be striving to be a gymnast. Or, maybe, she just likes torturing her Mama Shelly. She's been very crazy this last week. And now, she's even becoming stubborn! She'll be twirling away until I enter the scene. I put my hand on Shelly's baby and she freezes. She's so just teasing me. Little pill.
Here' a 23 week update:
- Proportions of the body are now quite similar to a newborn although thinner since she hasn't begun to form body fat.
- Bones located in the middle ear harden.
- Your baby is able to hear.
- 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, she has a 15% chance of survival, her 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.

Ya see what did I tell you. Now start their mind games. Our Riley does that to me too. Not so much anymore cause I can feel her everywhere now. She cannot run or hide. : )CONGRATS to 23 weeks!!!
Happy 23 weeks you guys!
Here I am hear me roar.
That said from me, and Riley.
My first day as a real blogger.
it's so great that she's so active!
congrats on the 23 week mark!
Congratulations on being 23 weeks!!! :) As Angele said, our Riley would often do the same thing. We figured she was doing it on purpose. ;) Now she's too big not to feel her when she moves--no hiding in those cramped quarters. ;)
Getting so close to the Fetal Echo and viability!!! :)
