Week 17- What is Bitty Baby doing in there?

Here are my preggo stats for Week 17:
*We received a letter last weekend stating that my AFP results came back normal, so that rules out a high chance of spina-bifida.
*If I haven't gained weight this week, then something's wrong with me. I have been eating like a horse!
*Food cravings: ANYTHING! But...
*Food aversions: Mexican, wintergreen mints (and the smell), and Japanese
*Fetal movement: Very faint and sporadic...but I will usually feel something about 1-2 times a day.
*Brooklyn's observations/comments: The baby will sleep in HER room in HER bed- close to the bed rail because she wants to sleep near the wall. She has a VERY cute way of hugging and kissing just the baby- NOT Mommy, she says. :-) She goes back and forth whether she wants a baby sister or brother. (One more week to wait!)

What the net says:
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's not a great picture...I think I will have to enlist Chad's help from now on, but here's the baby bump:
