17 Weeks!
Week 17: Onion - Who knew I'd ever love an onion so much!?!
Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.
While most of your baby's organs are in place, he's still very thin and lanky. During week 17 your baby starts to form fat. This is vital for the baby's heat production and metabolism.
You
Did you feel that? It's 'round about this week that you might feel a light flutter (the quickening) as your baby's bones begin to harden enough to pack a punch on your uterus. If you haven't felt anything yet, no worries, ordinarily, women begin to feel their babies move by 20 weeks. Contact your doctor if you don't feel anything by then.
Feed me! You may also have noticed an increase in your appetite as your baby gets bigger and hungrier. Eat when you're hungry, but don't slip into a feeding frenzy. Stick to your healthy diet; you've got a ways to go yet, and you don't want to pack on too much weight too quickly.

Week 16: Avocado

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.
16 WEEKS
The fetus is about 4½ inches long and weighs about 4 ounces.
The head is erect and the arms and legs are developed.
The skin appears transparent. A fine layer of hair has begun to grow on the head.
Limb movements become more coordinated.

Week 15: Size of a Naval Orange !!!
Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.
Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 4 inches and she now weighs approximately 1.75 ounces. Your baby is close to the size of a softball and you can easily tell that you are pregnant now! If you wear maternity clothes or a swimming suit, other people will be able to tell that you are pregnant also. You can probably feel your uterus about three to four inches below your bellybutton. Your baby, 25 weeks to go..... Your baby is growing at an amazing rate and looking more like a human every day. Because your baby's skin is so thin, you are able to see blood vessels through the skin. Lanugo hair covers your baby's body, but it will be gone when your baby is born. The hair on the eyebrows and head continues to grow. Some babies are born with little or no hair and others have a head full of hair! If you have an ultrasound at this point, you might be able to see your baby sucking its thumb. Even though the eyes continue to move to the front of the face, they are still widely separated. Your baby's ears look like normal ears and continue to develop externally. The bones that have already formed continue to get harder and retain calcium. The baby is very mobile and flexible at this point. She can bend her arms at the elbows and wrists and she can also make a fist with her hands.
