Baby Pavey Update: Week 17

Well it’s already week 17! (in a day or so) I guess that means time for another bump photo.. I will try to take another photo and post it up here soon..

Update from Baby Center:

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.

The Baby weighs about as much as a turnip: about 5 oz

Other Updates:

Justin gets to Wa in two days!! We may be able to find out if its a boy or a girl in a couple days, depending on if the baby is cooperating One of my sisters had a great idea, which I am super excited for. We are going to have a Gender Revealing Party with our family in Cannon Beach when we all are on our family vacation next week.  Everyone will wear an item/ or clothing color either blue or pink, depending what they think the baby is. Then we will bring out a cake that says ‘its a boy’ or ‘its a girl’. We thought it would be a fun way to share with family since we normally are so far from everyone and have to share news over the phone.. So…. when I find out I won’t be sharing here on the blog for awhile, since I want to tell my va friends in person too!

Baby movements: I’m pretty sure I am feeling the baby move at night when I am falling asleep, though I am sure as the weeks go on it becomes more obvious… Also, when I was talking to Justin on skype I swear it was moving every time Justin talked and stopped when he didn’t, though i’m not sure if it has that good of hearing yet! Wouldn’t that be so sweet though if the baby was responding to his voice?? (I can not wait to start calling it a he or a she, it will be much easier and make the whole thing more real

Gender Guess: Well since i find out in a few days I am putting on the record my guess, a boy! I just have had a feeling from the beginning, though I think I was probably telling Justin we would have a boy first from before we even found out we were pregnant… I will be thrilled with either, but I just am curious to see if I am right Though many people are guessing a girl, I guess we will find out..

Other fun Facts: I found out my sister/friends may be throwing me a shower so I will have one last trip back in September, which originally I thought this would be the last one for almost a year.  Justin is going to try to come back as well, though it will be a really short trip..

Looking forward to: Nesting, and organizing! I have been having the itch to put everything away and start chipping away at all those unfinished projects at home.. Also, I want to update the blog with our home updates since I have not been taking enough home photos for my friends here in wa to see what our new home is like..
