How big is baby?

How far along? 17 weeks
Waist measurement: 40.5 inches so just about the same?(Starting to think that 42 was the end of the bloating?
Total weight gain/loss: down 9.2. 185.8lbs.
How much does Baby weigh?: about 6 oz
Maternity clothes? but of course!
Stretch marks? same ones. possibly some new ones on my sides
Sleep: still napping when possible. Get tired easy but don't seem to sleep well.
Best moment this week: Making our next appointment. Hoping the dr will just do an u/s to find out what we are having.
Movement: very little, haven't had time to sit back and really think about it.
Food cravings: milk, orange soda, and lots of fresh fruit
Gender: been thinking boy all along. Everyone else says girl.
Labor Signs: No, just cramps
Belly Button in or out? in
What I miss: Can't bend over all too well without getting short on breath. That and this feeling of a balloon being blown up in my belly isn't too fun.
What I am looking forward to: the big u/s!
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.
At 4 to 5 inches long and about 7 ounces, your baby is roughly the size of a large pear. And she's ripening--the brain, muscles, nervous and circulatory systems, and urinary tract are all functioning. Amniotic fluid is pumping through her lungs. Her skeleton, composed of rubbery cartilage, will harden later.
