Pics taken at 17 weeks 2 days
  1. How far along? 17 weeks 3 days
  2. Maternity clothes? still not quite there yet...
  3. Stretch marks? None yet...(hoping this statement stays a "no")
  4. Sleep? still sleeping like a champ
  5. Best moment last week? Having my niece (3 years old) name my belly "charley/charlie", and stating that it's a girl
  6. Movement? None yet...I don't think...felt some stuff but can't be sure it's baby movements
  7. Symptoms? getting some aches in my back...most likely from working crazy long and busy days in the lab with little down time
  8. Gender? We will find out ASAP (ultrasound on Oct. 19th!!)
  9. Labor signs? NOPE-way too early for that
  10. Belly button in/out? Still very in there
  11. What I miss? eating raw cookie dough...SO tempting when I make cookies and hot chocolate on certain nights
  12. Looking forward to? feeling the baby move, and knowing that it's the baby!
  13. What's going on with Baby A? (from www.thebump.com)

your baby's the size of an onion!
Baby's continues to beef up. Now she's about 5.1 inches long and weighs about 5.9 ounces.
your baby at 17 weeks
  • Her rubbery cartilage is now turning to bone.
  • And she's growing some meat on those bones -- putting on some fat.
  • She's growing a stronger, thicker umbilical cord, too.
