Your pregnancy: 23 weeks!!!

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about the lenght and weight of a Harry Potter book), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

At this point if our babies were born they would have up to a 40% survival rate. From this week until next week the survival rate increases approx. 3-4% per day. We are definitly getting closer to the safe zone, yipeee!!!
