Week 17

On July 29th, I hit the 17 week mark. Still looking the same, however ALL food aversions have passed and my appetite is voracious! I can eat a whole lunch and then 30 minutes later, eat another! It's so great!....and with maternity pants you never feel like you are gaining weight since you pants keeps stretching to fit. I am not sure I will ever want to part with my maternity pants.

(I know, I know, 7 months from now I am sure I will be signing a different tune, something like, "I WANT my skinny pants NOW!")

Week 17:
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 (www.babycenter.com).
