Week 17: This Week You are The Size of...

...a turnip! The baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker. The baby weighs 5 ounces now and is around 5 inches long from head to bottom. The baby can move joints, and sweat glands are starting to develop.

(Honi Gram comment: Gee, not only is it peeing inside, but now it's also sweating--I'm sorta glad I didn't know this information when I was pregnant!).

(Mommy comment: I had a dream the other night that I was taking care of some boxer puppies. The website says that dreaming about taking care of baby animals means that I'm in tune with my instincts. Interesting!)

(another Honi Gram comment: "in tune with her instincts" OF COURSE! I'm not at all surprised!)
