An onion.

The baby is now the size of a large onion, 5 inches long and weighs 5oz. 5 inches doesn't sound very big... but go grab a ruler. That's pretty big. I can't believe that I have something growing inside of me that is 5 inches long! Geesh.

I am 17 weeks today. I can't believe I'm almost halfway done with this pregnancy!! 9 months, or 40 weeks or whatever it will turn out to be sure seems like it goes by fast when there's so much planning to do!! Oh well, I'm a planner. This will keep me busy, especially considering we haven't done anything yet!! That will all begin next Wednesday (hopefully) when we find out the sex!!
