I am 17 weeks along now. I am actually starting to feel pretty good, and have a "little" more energy. At least it's enough to get Natty out of the apartment for a little bit on Saturdays, so we're not getting "apartment-fever" from being cooped up all day.
Our baby is the size of a turnip. I cannot believe how much and how fast this baby is growing. It is already very active. I am being kicked fairly often throughout the day, but (like Natty) the baby gets shy when Tim puts his hand on my tummy.
At 17 weeks, our baby's skeleton has changed from cartilage to bone. It's umbilical cord is also growing thicker and stronger each day. Our miracle weighs about 5 ounces. It can move its joints (obviously since I am kicked constantly) and is starting to develop sweat glands.
Well, it's been a pretty good weekend so far. Condering Natty's been sick pretty much all week, she is still in very good spirits. She is slowly getting better. Thank you all for praying for her. Even though she hasn't been feeling her best, she is still making leaps and bounds learning language. She is learning a new word practically every other day. Some of her new ones are: all gone, bubbles, love you, who is it?, what is this?, duck, and thirsty. All I can say is that I am amazed. I really do not drill her on words. Tim and I just talk to her alot, and I guess she is just soaking everything up. We are so proud of her.
