17 Weeks

A baby at pregnancy week 17 is the size of a pomegranate and measures about 5.1 inches long and weighs about 5.9 ounces. Baby's rubbery cartilage is now turning to bone. And baby's growing some meat on those bones, putting on some fat. He is growing a stronger, thicker umbilical cord too.

How far along? 17 weeks

Weight gain/loss: 12 lbs

Sleep? Every night is hit or miss. Frequent pee breaks are part of life.

Best moment this week?This week Noemi was telling me how Joaquin and another boy at the gym were watching Beauty and the Beast. She said they kept covering their eyes and saying "gross" when Beauty and the Beast were hugging and kissing. I asked her what she thought. She said "I think it's lovely." So hilarious and adorable.

Movement:NOPE. And this is longer than it took for both previous pregnancies. Any day I guess? I am getting a little impatient on this one.

Food cravings:Croissants

What I miss? Stomach sleeping.

What I am looking forward to? Date night tonight and a double date night tomorrow!

Milestones: Finding out that Jay doesn't have Zika. Not sure that counts as a milestone but it certainly was a relief.

What I'm nervous about: I am on the brink of beginning my new role with Johnson & Johnson. I am very excited about the company and all of the new opportunities but I know it is going to get busier and it will be really important to make a good impression right away. Not ideal mid way through a pregnancy but it is what it is. I just keep thinking that it can't be worse than the work conditions I endured with my first two pregnancies.
