17 WEEKS DOWN, 23 TO GO!

I'm 17 weeks pregnant today. :-) Time to work on week 18! I'm 119 days through my pregnancy, 42.5% complete! I'm only 70 days away from my third trimester and 161 days away from my due date!

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