Preggo Friday; but on Saturday

Baby Progress:
Your baby is now about the size of a turnip! She is roughly 5 inches long and weighs 5 ounces now. That's even more than the placenta weighs.

Though no new structures have formed this week, she has developed fat deposits under her skin that will account for about 2-6% of her total body weight at her time of birth, just 23 weeks from now!

Her skeleton, which up until this point has been made up of flexible cartilage, is now hardening into bone. Another exciting event…her sense of hearing begins to develop this week!

My Progress:
How far along? 17 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: +5 lbs.
How much does baby weigh?
Symptoms: Pregnancy brain, emotional, backaches, dry skin, snacky all the time!
Maternity clothes? Pretty much everything.
Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: Great!
Best moment this week: hearing baby kick!
Food cravings: milk shakes, fries and root beer.
Food aversions: chicken!
Gender: hopefully, this will be discovered on May 28th!
Labor signs: way to early for this.
Belly Button - in or out? in.
What I miss: Cherry Coke
What I am looking forward to: May 28th and discovering if my baby will be Jacinda or Klayton.
Milestones: baby's heart beat is now in the high 140's!
