Week 17

So apparently pregnant Kylie is not as independent as not-pregnant Kylie. Chris left for Provo today. I thought, no problem. 7 days ... no big deal. Then as he's pulling away I get all teary. Man, am I weepy. I feel like I'm really going to miss him a lot for the next 7 days. I'll spend my time pacing us up though. He packed all the heavy things before he left, so I get to have fun with all of the littler things. Like the kitchen and the study. We are sad to be leaving Rexburg but we're excited to be with all of our friends and family in Utah

Week 17 Picture

 

The baby is now about the size of an onion.

The baby's skeleton is changing from cartilage to bone. Fat is beginning to form on the baby, helping it's metabolism and heat production. It's also making me bigger. The baby's heartbeat is about twice as fast as mine. It is practicing sucking and swallowing. As for me, I've realized that I can't get up as fast as I usually do. I keep standing up and walking two steps only to have to lean on something or sit down again because I get super dizzy. haha. I got to learn to slow down a bit apparently. Also, I have become a veracious eater. I may have already mentioned this, but recently it is what I think about most. Food! mmmm... I'm making scrambled eggs as we speak.
