Weeks 22-24

We have a doctor's appointment on Monday and hope to find out if Baby Silverman is a boy or a girl. Here is what the baby looks like/will look like in the next couple weeks. We are currently in week 22.

According to thebump.com (http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/blogs/2ndtrimester/pages/weeks-21-24-month-5-papaya.aspx?r=0&MsdVisit=1)

Weeks 22-24 (months 5): Papaya

Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.
