17 Weeks!

Let's see...what is new? Well, it's not really new but I am feeling the baby all the time now. I started watching a new baby (2 months old). This has gave me a preview of what it will be like. First of all I have to say that Nolan is going to be an awesome big brother. He kisses the new baby about 20 times a day. And when he is not kissing him he is hugging him. It will be so wonderful when it is his sibling that he is giving kisses and hugs.

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.
