17 Weeks

What an exciting week for Baby and Me! Our favorite weekend was upon us, Movement! Also known as, The Detroit Electronic Music Festival. I wasnt sure how much or little I was going to be able to handle but was definitely going to try to hang as long as I could! Surprisingly I was able to make it every day/night from about 4pm to midnight. Now I will say my recovery each day was slow moving. Lots of foot massages, sleep (like 10-12 hours each night), and rest as often as I could while at the festival. You never realize how much motrin can make a difference till you cant take it! Ha! I even made it through a very rainy Monday! Lots of layers, an umbrella, and my husband by my side...we danced the day and night away :)

I am pretty sure I felt the baby move to! I felt a flutter type feeling on my right side, and it lasted for a good 10 minutes. And than an hour later I felt the exact same feeling on the left side! Id say the baby was having a good ol time in utero. Great taste in music already :)

Baby is the size of an onion, about 5 ounces and 5 inches long from head to bottom. Baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone this week. Baby can also move his/her joints, and sweat glands are starting to develop.
