Corn on the Cob, Anyone?

Here we are at week 24 already.  We found out last week that our little bundle of joy is a GIRL!  That was my thought, and I had actually already purchased a few girly things before I knew for sure.  I figured if I was wrong I could always save them for a gift, but I was right!  So now I'm getting Noah used to the color PINK!  We ordered our crib bedding yesterday (that I had picked out months ago), and it should arrive in July.

This week our little girl is about the size of an ear of corn.  She should've gained about 4oz since last week, which would put her at 1 lb 5 oz.  Her body is still lean, but is just starting to add on fat and plump up.  Her brain is continuing to grow, and she is developing more sensitive taste buds.  Her skin is still thin and see-through, but that will change soon as she adds on the fat!

She is a mover and a shaker.  She definitely moves the most right after a meal, and you can see her little kicks right through my shirt.  She also definitely knows her daddy's voice!  She likes to dance around when he talks to her in bed at night.

Baby got to "attend" her first baseball game on Sunday evening.  She must have been good luck as Noah's team, the Watkins Clippers, got a nice win in Cold Spring.  Noah got a hit, scored a run, and played awesome at 2nd base.  She better get used to spending time at the ballpark!  I have been feeling great, and spending a lot of time in the yard picking up brush and getting it ready for some grass this summer.  My belly continues to expand, and it's always fun to see what it looks like each morning!  Here is my 23 weeks photo:
