17 Weeks: Onion Status!

Our little girl is now 5.5 inches long crown to rump and weighs in at 7 ounces. She is the size of a large onion. To see an illustration of a 17 week old fetus click here.

I am feeling pretty good. I went to the doctor today for my check up and the heartbeat was strong and in the 150's. I have gained two pounds since my last visit so that is three total. Not great...should be more but I'm sure I will make up for it! I also got blood taken for the quad screen. I go back next Wednesday for the level 2 ultrasound.

A lot has been going on here and will be for the rest of the week so I am going to make this short. Have a great evening!

Interesting... my doc's office doesn't offer the quad screen, only AFP which we declined. Sounds like those are two different things.
