17 Weeks - and Doubling Up

WEEK 17!!!

For my peeps that are not addicted to baby websites like me:

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.


Remember when I said last week that the baby was going to have a growth spurt? Well, I think the belly doubled in the last week too, no joke. Even GK and my sister noticed it. I think the statement "yeah, you really look pregnant now" was even uttered a few times. To add to it my appetite has also doubled - could be a reason why the belly doubled but whatever. I won't bore you with what I eat daily, but let's just say a foot long at Subway doesn't seem to be enough for me these days. I also like to document my subpar eating habits by texting some of my other pregnant girlfriends. Sometimes if I tell someone the terrible (yet very yummy) things I'm eating, it makes me stop eating for five minutes. Sometimes.


I still feel very small movements once and a while. I felt the baby move the other night and the only "person" that was there was Grace the dog so she got an earful from me that night.
