Welcome to Pregnancy Week 23

I am writing this to you all at around 5am.  Lol, what am I doing up at 5am on a Saturday?!  Well, I woke up for the normal 3:30am bathroom break (yep, my bladder apparently still can’t hold too much and I guess won’t be able to until Baby Girl is born) and I couldn’t go back to sleep.  You know, those kind of nights where you just lay in bed with a million thoughts in your head when you’d rather still be sleeping.  Ugh!  So what better to do with my time than to go downstairs and post a blog.  🙂

At 23 weeks, Baby Girl is now able to hear outside of the womb.  She’s getting used to sounds such as the vacuum, a loud tv, or even our Pugs barking, lol!  Poor Baby Girl, ha.  🙂  I even read that her perception of movement is developing so that if I’m listening to music, I can dance and she’ll feel it.  I’m pretty excited about her getting to hear music and I’m tempted to buy these headphones created just for pregnant women’s bellies:  Belly Buds.

They seem pretty neat to me and the starter package is priced right at around $50 bucks.  They come with reusable sticky pads that adhere to your belly and project sound into the womb (at a safe volume).  I’m still doing my research to see if they are worth buying (I research everything like it’s my job) and I’ll let you know if I buy them.

As for the rest for my weekend, Hubby and I are going to hopefully get some things done around the house.  Not sure exactly what that will consist of but probably some more unpacking (yeah, I said it, we’re still unpacking from our move in July) and maybe painting.

I’m already feeling like I’ll need a nap today!
