I'm in Week 23 of pregnancy! Let's see how Yoda bear is doing!
According to babygaga.com:
Your little womb hi-jacker is starting to kick their break-dance party up a notch now that his/her ears are registering sounds from the outside world!
The sound of a phone ringing (or that catchy ring tone), a thunder clap, or a car honking will actually jar their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent

I was looking at onesies last night. I wanted one specifically to be Yoda's "Coming Home from the Hospital" onesie and others for fun. I saw one that caught my attention. With the recent Trayvon Martin verdict, it struck a chord with me. I have a nephew, he'll be 15 this year, and he reminds me a lot of Trayvon. When the verdict was announced, I couldn't help but

There's an asterisk because I'm officially measuring eight days ahead (23w1d). However, I'll keep the gestation weeks based on LMP (Last Menstrual Period).
According to babygaga.com:

And that's just the beginning! Within the next five weeks, they'll really be packin' it on as they start to gain fat!

I'm part of a November Moms 2013 group on Facebook. It's a secret and many of the mothers-to-be there know my story with Ethan and this pregnancy. While I do keep them up-to-date with my progress, I also limit how much I tell them. One, I'm a little uncomfortable discussing my IC when none of them have it. I'm all for bringing awareness to IC and the treatment I'm
