Mommy at Week 17

There's Mommy! And here is some info on Week 17:

Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and he's around 5 inches long. He can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden to bone. His sense of hearing is also developing. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker [accoriding to the baby center]

May favorite part of this week is the comparison to a turnip...really, that's the best vegetable they could come up with? Nothing else weighs nearly five ounces?

Well, more importantly, Mom's doing well and our little turnip will have a name somewhere around the 15th...I can't wait.
