Apparently I'm 17 weeks

I'd like to think I'm in my 18th week and I've completed 17 weeks. Or could I just say that I'm 4 months? In any case, that's how far along I am at this point.

But apparently by now, Ray Ray's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — his/her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. He/She weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and is around 5 inches long from head to bottom. Ray Ray can move his/her joints, and his/her sweat glands are starting to develop.

So, here I am as of today:

Tried to fix the fuzziness, but oh well.

An update for you...
I felt the baby move! It was tapping me from the inside! And then yesterday, if felt like it literally shivered inside! So, being the dork that I am, I shivered too! And, of course, once I told Johnny, he shivered too! He reallywants to feel it move. Hopefully one day soon he will!



Birthday wishes!!
Today's my brother's birthday! Happy Birthday Boy!!!
