Ultrasound
Scheduled for Wednesday, August 6th
I’ll be in the 19th week at that point. This is the one where we should get some fun photos of the baby. No, we are not going to find out the gender. We’re going to wait. So buy gender neutral till January 6th.
Notes from WebMD for this week (17 weeks pregnant):
Baby: Your baby, now about in its 15th week of development, measures about 4.4 to 4.8 inches from crown to rump and has doubled in weight in the last two weeks to about 3.5 ounces. Fat begins to form, helping your baby’s heat production and metabolism. The lungs are beginning to exhale amniotic fluid, and the circulatory and urinary systems are working. Hair on head, eyebrows and eyelashes is filling in.
Mom-to-be: You’re showing more now, with an obvious swelling in your lower abdomen. A five- to 10-pound weight gain is typical by now. You also may be noticing an increase in appetite. <--- Note: I have gained 6.6 lbs.
