17 weeks

Baby Aguilar #2 now weighs about 5 ounces (even though Mama has gained more that 5 ounces-lol) and is about 5 inches long. He/she is about the size of my palm.

At this point:
he/she is developing body fat,
his/her legs are much more developed,
its head is more erect with eyes closer to the front of his/her head,
the ears are almost in their final position,
his/her skeleton is hardening to bone,
the umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker,
heart is now regulated by her brain (his/her heart is beating twice as fast as mine), and
he/she is practicing sucking/swallowing.
