17 Weeks!

  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.
   We have a little Turnip! I am so excited because I am pretty sure I am feeling our little ones first little fluttering. It is hard to tell because it feels like almost like popcorn! Zack says he can't wait till he can FEEL it . I said we got a while to go. The way the doc told us our little one was kicking at our 16 week appt, I wouldn't be surprised if my "popcorn' was for sure my first" flutters".
