17 Weeks!!!!!

Feb/22/2013-Feb/28/2013

17 Weeks-Sweet Potato Baby!!!!!



Size of baby:  Right now, my baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and he's around 5 inches long from head to bottom.

My baby this week: Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — his lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. He can move his joints, and his sweat glands are starting to develop.

Maternity Clothes: Yes, although a few pre-pregnancy clothes still fit. 

Sleep: I'm waking up twice to pee just like always, but it's becoming really difficult to get a good nights sleep lately because I feel like my belly hurts no matter what position I lay in! Will be ordering that pregnancy pillow ASAP. 

Best Moment of the Week: Knowing that next week I will be able to call my baby by their name! 

Movement: Still not sure what I'm feeling...

Food cravings: I really want spicy salmon sushi rolls but of course I can't have them! 

Gender: We find out on March 2nd!!!!!!!!! 

What I Miss: Being able to sleep comfortably. 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Seeing my baby in 2D and 3D next week during the ultrasound. 

Milestones: The top of my uterus has grown to the middle of my abdomen and the baby's parasympathetic nervous system is active. 

Emotions: Been pretty happy this week considering my discomfort. 

Symptoms:  Nausea, vomiting, gas pains, shortness of breath, acne, and glowing skin!
