17 Weeks

Your baby weighs 5 ounces this week -- about as much as a turnip. (Length: 5 inches, head to bottom.) Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.
Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't be wearing horizontal stripes.

Little turnip. You are almost to the half way point.

And nonsense about the stripes. When you are pregnant, any print will do. Now after the baby's born, some prints will need to be reconsidered. j/k :)

I digg the stripes. Is it an inmate shirt or a Hamburglar costume?
