17 Weeks and Counting....

Chantel and Brit this is for you! Just thought I'd let you get a sneak peak at what I look like at 17 weeks. Except I chopped my head since the hair needs some serious TLC right now. Anyway here are the stats of baby as of this week.

According to babycenter.com: 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.

So exciting. Now I just wish I could feel the little thing wiggle about in there. I guess I'm jumping the gun. It will probably be a couple more weeks until then.

Her lifeline to the placenta? Her? Think so huh? J/K I know you did the copy and paste thing. Jack is hoping you'll have a boy. He would like a little friend. Anyway, You are so pregnant! Ok not really. That's a cute little bump. Kayley says soon enough you'll feel those little flutters. She felt them at 18 weeks. So Fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (cause we won't be seeing you this weekend at our dad's)

your belly is so cute!

oh ya i forgot to ask in the email i sent you-who will i ever find that uses that same amazing bleach as you and dyes my hair so good? i feel like i'll never find someone who'll measure up to you-i know it stresses you out, but you are truly good at it.
