WK 17 and I felt my first flutters! What an amazing thing to have a baby living and growing inside of you and to be able to feel it, when it's so little...amazing. It felt just like my friends and doctors explained, tiny popcorn kernels popping or someone softly flicking you. Despite my growing belly (and growing other parts ;) , it just now is starting to feel real to me. "I'm really going to have a baby!!!"
I hope Baby Shempp continues to make it's presence known. There is nothing, right now, that brings me more happiness than these brief little "dates" we are having. Baby Shempp seems to have somewhat of a schedule...each day around 2:30- 3:00pm, just as I'm starting to crash from staring at my computer screen, he starts moving and grooving. I'll feel it about 2 or 3 times and that's about it. Hopefully, these little "dates" we are having will increase in frequency soon! How can you love someone so much already?
Kicking little feet (wk 12 ultrasound)
Week 17: 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.
