By week 23, your baby is taking on the shape of a full-term baby — but her bones and organs are still visible beneath a thin layer of translucent skin.
Although your baby continues to add fat to her body, she still looks wrinkly. This happens because Baby's skin develops more quickly than fat accumulates. However, she continues to grow, and by the end of the week will measure about eight to nine inches long.
Here are other developments this week:
* She'll begin moving around more than ever, stretching and flexing the muscles in her arms and legs, fingers and toes.
* Skin pigment is being deposited this week to create your baby's skin tone.
Andy took some pictures of me yesterday so as soon as I get those on the computer I'll post them. People are saying that I finally look pregnant. In the last 10 days or so he must have had a growth spurt or something. :) We aren't any closer to a name for him. I had about 10 girl names that I was ready to go with. Choosing a boy name is much harder! Maybe we'll have to wait until we actually see him and see what fits. We'll see...
