So it’s week seventeen, which it should be unsurprising, feels exactly like the last couple of weeks. Still no kicking from BB’s end (that I’m feeling), and I feel about the same. It’s kind of getting boring. I’m glad I have a doctor’s appointment coming up to remind me / reaffirm that I am in fact pregnant. But according to those pros at babycenter.com, BB is still very much busy – their skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — their lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. BB weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and is around 5 inches long from head to bottom. BB can move their joints, and their sweat glands are starting to develop.

Damn. I’d like to tell you something else interesting is going on, but I’d be lying. I’ll let you know when I feel some kicks.
