17 Weeks

I hope the baby had a growth spurt this week because I sure did. I gained three pounds and my belly is definitely starting to round out a little bit. I'm having a little bit of a hard time embracing the weight gain. I know its necessary and because I am growing a baby inside of me, not just because I ate too many doughnuts but still, three pounds in one week seems like a lot to someone whose weight really stays the same all the time. Plus, I still don't think I look at all pregnant, just plumper than usual! Other than that, I have resorted to sleeping in a sports bra lately and I am much more comfortable! I'm still only feeling the baby move occasionally and waiting for next Wednesday for our big ultrasound!

Weekly Update: Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.
