Where on earth has the time gone? It sounds mad but i still don't feel that pregnant. This heat is mad. I just wish i could get some sleep at night, we've got a fan but it isn't helping that much.
These are some fetal MRI scans i found for 23-24 weeks, they are amazing!
If you fancy checking them out they are here:

For 23 weeks our little man is supposed to weigh a little over one pound/ 500 grams, when we had the scan at 22+6 his estimated weight was 547g so not far off really. Weirdly the sonographer said that he was a little small but from that weight, he sounds good to me. He is supposed to measure about 11.4 inches (29 cms) from crown to heel. His hearing is well established and he can make out a distorted version of my voice, the beating of my heart and my stomach rumblings. Supposedly some studies indicate that unborn children prefer classical music, so maybe i should start listening to some and seeing if it makes him move around or anything.
Not much news, i'm still suffering with heartburn and Gaviscon advance is my new best friend. It tastes horrible but it works which is the main thing. Also i counted the days left until i go on maternity leave, 64 more working days left (13 weeks). It doesn't sound that much really.24 weeks (5th July)
Overall not a bad week for me, not much happened, no appointments or anything. Have been feeling alright, sleeping ok mostly.
This week our little man weighs more than 1.3 pounds (600g), he still has little body fat and his skin is thin and fragile, he's now well-proportioned. His brain is growing rapidly, and he is starting to fill the space in my uterus. From crown to heel he could measure 11.8 inches (30 cm). His eyes are still shut and his ears are now in their final place.
I took some pictures of my belly again this week:
