It is 17 weeks. Baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — the lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Babies weigh about 5 ounces now (size of an onion), and are around 5 inches long from head to bottom. They can move their joints, and sweat glands are starting to develop.
We had an anatomy scan yesterday. Babies were measured from crown to rump (and what a cute rump it is!), around their middle, and around their head. The four chambers of the heart were viewed, as well as the kidneys, bladder, stomach, brain, spine, and sex organs. It is pretty evident to us what both babies are. :-)
Ultrasound shows both are measured well and they look great. What miracles they are!! We could not be happier and excited. Almost half way through. "S" belly bump is becoming noticeable.
Baby A heartbeat
Baby B heartbeat
It is very interesting to see they interacted with each other
