Week 17

Baby is the size of an onion (length and weight)! We did the measurement conversions of what my website said the average size would be at this point, and that's about 5 inches and 5 ounces. Wow.
Developmental milestones typical for week 17:

*Baby's growing fat, its cartilage is turning to bone, and it now has fingerprints!

*Baby can now start hearing things outside the womb pretty clearly now. I'm sure it liked the Vivaldi at the church Christmas program today much more than the Romanian techno music it heard last night at Tommy Keegan's (yes that's an irish pub, but it's owned by a Romanian and yesterday was their national holiday).

I had someone tell me last night that I "look wonderful" and am "glowing". Nice time for me, huh? :)
