23 (but really 24) weeks bumpdate

His face is fully formed now -- he just needs a little extra fat to fill it out.

He's listening to your voice and your heartbeat -- and even to loud sounds like cars honking and dogs barking.

The joints and bones of the hand are still very soft, although the cartilage skeleton is now gradually being replaced by bone. This image shows well the numerous capillaries supplying blood to the hands, right down to the fingertips.

Your baby is now making regular deep breathing movements. These have been present for some weeks, but not in a sustained and coordinated fashion. These breathing movements are critical for the development and expansion of your baby's lungs.
