So, as of yesterday I am 17weeks along. The only thing that is really different this week is that I'm feeling the baby pretty regularly! I can't wait for the movements to get strong enough for Bryan to feel too! Also, Bryan is convinced that the baby is a girl, so he has started calling my stomach Audrey (our name for a girl)! We'll see in about 5weeks if he's right.
The poll so far:
Boy: 11 people think this
Girl: 6 people think this
Well, obviously most people think that it's a boy. If you haven't already, let me know what your vote is!
Your baby's development this week:
The baby is growing quite rapidly this week. A full supply of blood is traveling through the umbilical cord, causing tension (like a water filled hose). This, combined with the baby's movements, keeps the cord from knotting. Your baby has its own circulation of blood and a heart that is beating strongly. The baby's heart is circulating about 25 quarts of blood a day.
Other changes that are happening:
~The baby's bones are hardening. If you were to take an x-ray, the skeleton would be visible.
~By this week, your baby may suck its thumb.
Baby's size (head to rump) this week: About 4.5 to 4.75inches.
Weight: Approximately 3.5ounces.
Right now your baby is about the size of a stick of butter.
