Week 17 today!

Hooray, another week in!
Deona is feeling and looking great.
I never really bought into the whole "glowing" thing...however i can honestly say, Deona's glowing, and looking more beautiful each day.

What's happening with baby this week?
Baby is EVEN bigger than it was last week (suprised? :)not to mention getting cuter, and smarter every day! As youve come to expect, theres no shortage of growth and development this week: your fantastic little bean stalk has added yet another half inch to their overall height-- making them nearly half a foot long! Their little limbs have reached (or are within one week of) their relative proportions, and will continue to grow evenly with the rest of the body after this week. Reactive listening has begun for your baby, even though their ears are not yet structurally complete or fully functional. Meanwhile, different parts of their astonishingly complex brain are developing to process your little ones hearing and other senses, (you know, sight, smell, taste and touch). Mind boggling factoid of the week: if youre having going to have a little girl, her ovaries have already produced millions of primordial egg cells, which, within a few weeks, will develop into actual eggs!
