"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."
I am 17 weeks pregnant today and my little one is the size of an onion. Baby is growing so big, so fast! I went to Motherhood Maternity today and bought maternity clothes for the first time. I got some cute shirts that will be good now and through my pregnancy. I also got some maternity pants and some of those tummy wraps. They had some cocoa butter oil there that is supposed to help with my itchy skin so I snagged that too. LOL!
I can feel my baby move more frequently now. It's usually while I'm lying down, or eating actually. LOL! Robbie wants the babe to get bigger and kick harder so he can start feeling the movement too. I have a feeling that will be fairly soon. I've been experiencing ligament pulling as my belly grows and expands to accommodate my growing baby. It's pretty painful to be honest. I find the only relief I can get is from a warm bath. I think the tub is calling my name now. Ha ha!
18 more days until I find out the sex! It's getting closer, but it still seems so far away. I want to know so that I can start thinking about how I want to decorate the nursery and what kinds of clothes and toys to buy my little one. I don't know how some people wait until they have the baby to find out. The anticipation is killing me!
