17 Weeks
Our baby is now just over 5 inches long and weighs about 5 ounces. His/her skeleton is mostly rubbery cartilage, which will harden later.
As for me, I'm reading that I may feel off-kilter because my center of gravity has shifted. I may also be forgetful. Both of these are true. But I'm also feeling better than I've felt in a long time.
I'll see my nurse practitioner again this week and will likely make my appointment for the next ultrasound. Once we find out if we are expecting a boy or a girl, we'll start working on the nursery and registering for all the things a baby needs. How exciting!
