17 weeks

17 weeks! April 23, 2009


Today makes 17 weeks for me! That means only 1 more week and 1 day until we find out if we're having a boy jones or a girl jones! I'm so excited!! We'll also get to find out if my placenta is behaving itself or not. If it is, then it will have moved forward and will not be sitting on top of my cervix (as it has been previously!).

I keep waiting to feel baby move but haven't had any real confirmation yet. I've felt what might be movement but they (the people in the books) say that it's often confused with gas. Bummer. I'm hoping that I'll feel something soon...

Baby is busy this week, doing lots of important things! He or she is about five inches long and weighs more than three and a half ounces! Baby's ears are able to hear loud sounds like doorbells and/or dog barking...guess he hears it when Whitaker goes crazy! Baby's eyes are making small side-to-side movements and can even perceive some light, though the eyelids are still sealed.

Here's a picture of what baby might look like right about now...
