23 weeks! :)

I'm 23 weeks as of today. I can't believe that, in 1 week, I'll be 6 months pregnant!! Crazy! I had an appointment today. Everything looks good. Baby's HR was in the 140's. My 1 hour glucose tolerance test will be in 3 weeks. I feel like I'm gaining weight too fast lately. I need to stop eating whatever I want! It could be all the sodium intake too... I feel like my food is never salty enough!

I got a copy of my Panorama test results - everything is low risk. My risk for a trisomy is 1 in 10,000. :)

Anyhoo, according to babycenter.com:
Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him 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 him when he hears them outside the womb.

Baby is the size of a large mango - 10.5 to 11.8 inches long:
