Baby is 17 weeks today and about the size of an onion. Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.
How far along? 17 Weeks Today
Weight gain/loss: Up at least 11 pounds. I haven't weighed myself in about a week, so I'm not sure of the exact number yet.
Sleep? The best part of coming home from vacation is sleeping in our own bed. We slept 12 hours on Monday night to make up for the Sunday night red eye flight.
Best moment this week? Steve and Jamie's wedding on Friday was a lot of fun. Weddings are always magical for me.
Movement: II'm pretty sure I'm feeling tiny little movements here and there. I can't wait for that first big kick!
Food cravings: Anything home cooked.
Gender: Only 6 more days until the big ultrasound and we will know for sure!
Belly button in or out? In, barely.
What I miss? Hawaii.
What I am looking forward to? Our big ultrasound. I can't wait!
Milestones: I'm officially 4 months pregnant now, which sounds so far along. I am so happy to have made it this far without complications. I am hoping my good luck continues.
What I'm nervous about: Nothing today. I'm feeling pretty good.
