Baby at 17 weeks

Your baby weighs about 5 ounces now, and he's around 5 inches long — about the size of a large onion. He can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden to bone. His sense of hearing is also developing. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker.

Well, the baby sure got a lot of exercise so far this weekend. Dave and I put together a list of things to get done and we didn't stop moving until dinner time! I mowed our lawn for the first time, it was growing nicely from all the rain. We moved the rest of the furniture out of the Baby's room so we can shop for a crib etc. whenever we're ready. We painted the chair rail for the Dining Room to finally finish off that room. And Dave, like a little kid, happily put together his new rolling toolbox (I couldn't resist giving him his birthday gift early) and got his tools in order in the garage.

Dave's parents came over last night to take us to dinner for his birthday, we tried out Domo 77 in Aurora which just opened up a few weeks ago. It was great food! Dave had like 6 plates of sushi! After dinner Dave got his gifts and then he decided he wanted some Bakers Square pie for dessert. When we got back to the house around 9:45 from all that, I immediately went to my usual comfortable place on the couch and fell asleep until Dave woke me up to go up to bed!

We'll see what's in store for today, since it will be just as nice! I'm hoping to take the camaro out today since we just started insurance on it Friday!
