Seventeen Weeks


This week: Wolverine Baby is five inches long or about the length of a Droid phone.

Development: Wolverine's skeleton is changing from cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord is growing thicker and stronger.  Her sweat glands will begin to develop this week, and she can move her joints now.

Are you craving anything? Still Bamboo House but now also slices of pizza with Feta and chorizo from Decent Pizza.

Is there any food that turns you off? Not right now...

How do you feel? Pretty good!

How is your sleep? Lately, not so great.  I must stop drinking so much water before I go to bed... But that's when I'm really thirsty!

Most surprising thing you've noticed or experienced:  The baby moving, hands down.  I wasn't expecting it, so it caught me off guard.  And I am surprised by how often I feel her moving.  There appears to be no rhyme or reason to when she's the most active.  It also surprises me how easily distracted I become when I feel her moving.

Something you're surprised you haven't noticed or experienced: Nope!

Favorite/most comfortable article of clothing: The new maternity jeans I got this past weekend.  I really expected trying to find a pair that was comfortable and flattering would be a nightmare.  After all, buying regular jeans is.  But the first pair I tried on was so comfortable (and nice-looking) that I think I would have paid $300 for them.

How is Ray doing? He is doing very well and seems to be pretty keenly aware of the pregnancy progress these days.
