17 weeks!!


  1. How far along?: 17 weeks.
  2. How big is baby?: Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
  3. Weight gain?: -8 lbs.
  4. Stretch marks?: None yet. 
  5. Maternity clothes?: I'm wearing my maternity pants, although they are too big (pre-pregnancy jeans aren't working anymore) and maternity shirts. I think that I do have a little belly now. :)
  6. Best moment last week?:  I might have felt baby move a couple times.  Not 100% sure though.
  7. Food cravings?: None this week.
  8. Symptoms?: Nauseous occasionally. But over all feeling better!
  9. Exercise?: Not really exercise but stretches for my tailbone/sciatic pain.
  10. Gender?: Unknown. Should find out in 1-2 weeks.
  11. Movement?: Not sure.
  12. Belly button?: Still in.
  13. What I miss?: Nothing this week.
  14. Labor signs?: Better not have these yet.
  15. What I'm looking forward to?: Midwife appointment tomorrow  and the anatomy scan in a few weeks.
