23 Weeks: Grapefruit Baby

Things have changed in neonatology since Harper was born so that now, a twenty-three week fetus is considered viable.  This week, New Baby is around eleven inches long and has probably reached a pound in size!  He is starting to make surfactant to help his lungs develop and is learning the sound of our voices.  He is VERY active and we could appreciate his movements a whole six to seven weeks before Harpers.  We are finally starting to make some decisions on his nursery so hopefully we can start putting that together soon!
