Weekly Update

I am officially 17 weeks. I have been so tired the last week and a half. I feel like I did the first trimester. It is miserable. Hopefully this will pass. I leave to go out of town Friday morning for work. I am going to help out at a trial in East Texas from Friday - Monday. Should be good experience and good money!

I am one week from the fun sonogram. Then Justin and I can start arguing over baby names and nursery decorations. I have also felt the baby move a few more times in the last week, but it is still very faint. I can not wait to feel it more. It is a reassuring feeling.

In the meantime, below is my 17 week update. I will post a belly pic over the next few days. I really feel like I have "popped" in the last couple of weeks.

17 week update:

This is what our little one is up to this week......

How your baby's growing:

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.

Look for the belly pic to come!
