17 Week Vegetable

I am 17 weeks today, and apparently Baby Bean (will will only be Baby Bean a few more weeks...we find out if it's a boy or girl in only 2 weeks!!!) is the size of a turnip. The baby weighs 5 ounces this week, and is a little over 5 inches long.

Here is what the website says for this week:

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. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.

Grow baby, grow!
