That's right, at week 17 our baby girl is now the size of an onion. No sweet fruit this week, a stinky onion. But some very cool things are happening! Her fingers actually have one-of-a-kind finger prints now and her bones are beginning to harden and will no longer be squshy cartliage.
Still no movement yet (although Buddy has tried numerous times, I tell him "If I can't feel it yet, how are you?" but is is super sweet he tries all the time). I am placenta forward, so that is adding another layer of cusion between me and the baby, so she will have to get bigger before I feel her, which is fine with me for now. I am excited to feel it, but the idea of something moving around inside of me still kinda freaks me out.
don't worry... this one I've got will be here tomorrow and it still freaks me out that something is moving around inside of me. :)
