17 weeks

Today we have reached 17 weeks! In the past week, I have started to feel some of our baby's movements. I feel them mostly at night, right before bed when I am lying still on my back. I can also feel it when I roll over on my side. My tummy is starting to "pop" out more and more. I have definitely moved on to the world of maternity clothes - much more comfortable than trying to squeeze into my old pants. The most comfortable pants I've found are khakis from Kohl's and jeans from Old Navy. I've also purchased some maternity shirts online through Gap and Old Navy and have borrowed a few from a friend at school.

Your baby is hard at work honing his sucking and swallowing reflexes—all the better for eating that 2 AM (and 5 AM, and 8 AM ...) meal in a few months! The finger- and toenails are beginning to grow from their nail beds, which would explain why he'll need them trimmed almost as soon as he's born! Your baby weighs nearly 5 ounces and is a little over 5 inches long—about the size of a baked potato (load on the butter and sour cream, please).
