Week 17 Update from Baby Warren

Hello! Mommy said I should write to update you about how I'm growing ~ cause she says I'm getting big! My skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and my umbilical cord — which really is my lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. I weigh in at about 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip...although mommy & daddy think thats a funny comparison..like the size of a good size onion), and I'm already around 5 inches long from head to hiney. I can move my joints...and have been starting to kick mommy so she can feel it! My sweat glands are also starting to develop. I get my picture taken in eleven days & then you'll know what I already know! Am I a boy or a girl? Time will tell & mommy I'm sure will let me write soon...she's seems pretty nice & all...since she's letting me live in her belly. I love you all! Baby Warren



Mommy's Update:
I'm growing too ~ feeling lots of round ligament pain. It seems every day I try to wear some of my pre-pregnancy clothes just to squeak out my wardrobe a bit longer & find out less & less is fitting! I'm hungry all the time ~ about every two hours...which is a huge change..and Mexican food is back! :) I've felt baby twice now ~ a tiny flicking. I can't wait to find out our sweet baby's gender & be able to give itty bitty a name!
