Week 17!


Our baby is growing BIG and STRONG...

So...heres whats going on this week:

'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.' (babycenter.com)

We are getting more excited everyday for August 18th to arrive!! Only 12 days until we find out the sex of baby svoboda!! We will post more pictures that week of my growing belly...which is actually beginning to grow now!!

Also my dad is coming in tonight! YAY! We are going out to PF Changs for dinner, and i wanted to take him to Homemade Ice cream and pie for dessert...but I dont think we'll have enough time! Maybe we'll pick up a pie before he gets here and have it ready for when dinner is finished! He's on his way to New Mexico to begin a new ministry!! Let's just pray that the house sells, so my mom can join him real soon!!
