17 weeks and counting... (updated with another photo)

Well, I am into my 17th week of pregnancy and feeling fine!  I'm kinda at that stage where I don't really feel sick anymore and I'm not quite showing so I don't really feel pregnant.  I did have to go shopping for a particular undergarment and was quite shocked at the size I needed.  I just hope that area doesn't change too much more or I may need an assistant to walk around with me to help carry them so I don't have back pain.  Big Daddy said he would, but he has to work way too often.


This is what babycenter.com has to say about the baby this week:


How your baby's growing:



Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
 
It also says that I may be less graceful (check) and may start having crazy dreams (check).  I tell ya, if there is a pregnancy symptom in any book, I have had it this time around.
 
Here's a picture from my 15 week ultrasound on July 15th.  The poor thing looks a little squished in there, but the doc said that was normal around this time.  I have another ultrasound in August and we may be able to find out what it is then.
 

And the bump...
