161 Days 'til B-Day!

We've hit 17 weeks now! Here's what's happening this week:

"Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop."

Next Wednesday is the big anatomical check ultrasound. We can't wait to see how Baby Snodgrass has grown since I last saw him/her! I have a feeling we'll see a lot more movement than that one little wave I got last time. And if Baby cooperates, we'll find out pink or blue!

Congratulations! I can't wait to hear the pink or blue news. This is all just so exciting!
