17 Weeks

One more day of class and then off to the lake for the long weekend! I am so ready! I am looking forward to having time to clean my house and work on the upstairs, getting ready for Baby Same. I have been feeling her (him) move a lot lately. I love it every single time! It makes me feel so much better about everything. I know that I'm past the most dangerous part but I still sometimes worry how things are going in there. I'm not even half way there and am already so ready to hold our sweet baby. the next 23ish weeks are going to drag by! Short post this week. Maybe I'll have some more to say next week!

Here's What Been Going on:

• I am STARVING all the time! The morning sickness has definitely gone away but the constant hunger is here! 
• I've been feeling the baby move a lot. 
• I have much more energy. 
• I am having some trouble sleeping. 

**FACT ABOUT BABY THIS WEEK**

• Baby’s skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker.
• She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
• Baby is now covered with a downy layer of lanugo, which swirls in fingerprint-like formation over her whole body.
• Baby’s skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it.
