17 weeks


Your baby is the size of a large pear, and he may be sucking his thumb, a habit that he'll likely continue outside of the womb.
Baby's Length: 5.12 in.
Baby's Weight: 4.94 oz.
Finally, your baby's arms, legs, and trunk have caught up to the size of his head. Baby starts plumping up this week, as body fat is deposited under his skin and sweat glands develop. Also worth noting: The placenta is almost as big as your baby. It provides vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and oxygen, along with removing waste and filtering carbon dioxide.
This is a BIG week ahead. Next Friday, July 1, we go for our BIG 18 week sonogram. They check the growth and development of the baby and we find out if Baby Moore will a Girl or a Boy.... So excited!!!
