23 Weeks

By Melody Warren - 2:20:00 PM

Happy Monday! This week we are 23 (ish) weeks along in the pregnancy.

I say "ish" because little Carter is growing like a weed and my OBGYN says that he is a week ahead of our count. So if you want to get technical, you could say that we are 24 weeks, but for the sake of keeping everything on course, we will stick with 23.

According to TheBump.com, during week 23 of the pregnancy, the average baby is about 10.5 to 11.8 inches and about 12.7 to 20.8 ounces. At around week 23, it says that this is a good time to call our medical insurance and decide what adjustments we will want to make to add Carter to our policy. TheBump.com also encourages us to start a savings account. One study found that kids who have their own savings account are more likely to go to college!
