17 weeks today!

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


Man these emails are starting to get shorter and shorter each week! :( Oh well. I have been really uncomfortable this week. My stomach has funny pains and I just hurt always. Poor Allen has to keep listening to me say, "MY STOMACH HURTS!" and he just replies, "What else is new?" Poor guy. When I lay down flat on my back I feel like my baby sinks into me and it just hurts. I lay on my side and my side aches. I hear from everyone that's its time to get a body pillow. I am just so uncomfortable...
