17w1d


Its becoming a little more obvious that the first trimester is when much of the development happens. These weekly updates are getting a bit shorter. Still exciting... sweat glands? wow.

How your baby's growing:

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