Noemi is 17 weeks today and about the size of an onion. Her 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 8 pounds last time I checked.
Sleep? It's still pretty good, although there have been a lot of parties for the week of the 4th in our neighborhood lately that have been keeping us up.
Best moment this week? Going to the beach with Joaquin over the weekend was great. He is really starting to get comfortable playing in the shallow water and it is so cute.
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: Sushi.
Gender: We are having the big ultrasound in about a week and a half and then we will know for sure!
Belly button in or out? In, barely.
What I miss? Nothing.
What I am looking forward to? The weekend. I could use a break from work.
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: Surviving the next few months at work. It's tough being pregnant, having a toddler and having this job all at the same time.
